Reply To: How Do You Know if You Are Trans?

[RobbenWendy]

I suffered from penis envy, and went through a mild castration complex, because since I was born I was raised by my Mother who was very sexual, but my being intersex and assigned male at the time kept me from the devastating incestuous tie that I am fortunate never was with her, but was with my Father. I have crossed dressed when I dressed, and sewn clothes for my family when I was young, and had to say I am sorry to my Mother a number of times for throwing out her wardrobe, and shoes. You see my Mother was a professional seamstress with Burlington since there was just one factory. I had ideation about being a straight woman when being disciplined by a number of women who raised their family to understand the means and the meaning of suffrage at all cost.
Somehow I just always know, and also would mention to a peer if I thought I could trust them, that I am male, but also female. It seems my sexual orientation also transitioned as I would have to discuss it if I was in a relationship with a woman being that I believed I was actually Gay. Transitioning to female has made adjusting to every aspect of my upbringing, rearing, and raising that much easier, as it seemed I was the last to know, and recognize about most things about my story with my family, due to the fact that I wanted to have a good time most of the time, without consideration of having a sex drive, a sex life, and a sexual orientation very seriously.
