Reply To: HYPOTHETICAL: Would you trade your sex identity with a cis?

[Laura Moore]

I said yes. Ii did so mainly because life would have been so much less complicated. I can’t change the fact that I am trans and love being me (when I can) and I can’t change the fact that I grew up entirely in a masculine world (except for my private times). Since I have realized that I am trans (just two years ago… and I am 76) I have realized that my gender identity really ruined my marriage. I feel like I cheated and disappointed my wife who died three years ago. I will probably ever get over the fact that I should not have ever married….. that I was not a real man. That bothers me. yet I enjoy being me and love being feminine. I find myself in a  true “conundrum” (with proper respects to Jan Morris).
