I appreciate your experience and willingness to share in these matters, David. I can't even imagine what kind of hell some of the kids must have made middle school for you. You have obviously come out on the other side of it a strong and compassionate person.
Yes, I am 5'9" and having occasional problems with digestion of food, plus I've always had trouble putting on weight to begin with. I haven't checked in a few weeks but I would be surprised if I'm over 130 pounds right now. This makes breasts extremely visible under certain conditions, but I refuse to let my intimidation of possible imagined worst case scenarios to stop me from pursuing something I have felt so strongly about for almost as long as I can remember; or to stop me from being who I am.
When I'm not in full blown paranoia mode I am quite content with being "a little of both", more so than I would ever be as fully one or the other. At these times, knowing that I have achieved a small portion of that goal does bring me peace.
