I’ve been thinking about what I should write about today and I realized part of me looks forward to the day when I am just another blogger who write about food or fashion, home decor or daily news stories and no one remembers me as a woman who is Transgender…
Transgender…
I’m not sure if it is a word which describes me accurately or not. Should I just refer to myself in terms of being Transsexual? After all, Transgender is a umbrella term which covers such a broad spectrum of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, most of which have little or nothing to do with me at all.
It’s interesting to realize this journey began with a quest for a term which described who and what I am and here I am again asking the same question from a different perspective.
I have found this to be true of many of the things I sought to understand about myself. Time and again I find the same questions returning, each at a different level than before. Seeking a deeper meaning, a more complete picture of myself. Nothing can be taken for granted. Nothing is a given. There is so much abut myself which I never questioned to this degree before and ever twist and turn opens new avenues of thought.
If we live as long as we ask questions and seek answers, then I am more alive today than I have ever been.

I don’t think you have to be “trans” anything. You are your own person. Your sexual determination is one part of your identity. There are other parts, such as creativity and generosity and ideology, etc. that form your behavior. Just be you.
Well, gender and sex are two different things. Trans people can be any sexual orientation, just like non trans people.
I agree, being trans is just one aspect of who I am, it is not all I am nor does it alone define me. It is, though, one of many labels which can be used to describe me to a point, I guess what I’m unsure of is just how much it does so compared to “transsexual”, which seems to be the end of the gender spectrum where I currently find myself.
You could say it is more specific in its definition and describes be better, though as with all things, it is just one part of who I am, not all of me. 🙂
