Good read indeed,

And this time it wasn't a downer! Yay!!

I can definitely identify with putting effort into this being really confirming.

Just the struggles I have had with removing my body hair are a pretty clear indicator for me.

There is absolutely nothing sexy about epilating, or getting tired at work from muscle loss, or having a stiff face from electrolysis. I would not be concerned with voluntarily standing before a court, abandoning a name that I've been somewhat ok with my whole life, or undergoing a risky procededure sometime in the future that still may not allow me to feel sexual pleasure and certainly won't allow me to have children.

I'm willing to risk being singled out for being a 6 foot tall woman with a masculine jaw. Endure some looks in the make up and shaving aisle, and go through pain and discomfort from growing breasts.

I think that means something.

Sure does, I'm not going through all of this just for a laugh.
