New Trans thread as requested by HQs.

[oilfilledlamp]

Please forgive the intrusion but I've been out tonight and only recently got back. I wanted to respond to MadWomanintheattic earlier when she posted

"If I were an mtf trans (pre op or post op) the last place I'd want to fetch up is in a women's refuge, because of the potential for making other people feel ill at ease. But nothing is clear cut, really.

How often does this happen, really? Has there been any research into prevalence and motivation?

Kim - that is an incredibly moving post.

Thanks for posting that Kim

And agree with eveything falling says

Thanks, Kim.
You are very understanding of the feelings of other people, but it must be hard to think that your feelings are less valued by society.

Your employment experience sounds great. I know others that have had to change employment as well.

Do you think you will end up with GRS in an attempt to make changing room negotiations / dorm stuff easier? Or content to stay as 'you'. (don't feel you have to answer that. It's very personal. But it sounds as though you are stopping doing things you want to do because you feel your presence will make people uncomfortable. I'm not endorsing GRS in any way)
