Deeply agree. I always stress that everyone is individual, all sitting somewhere on a continuum of gender and sexuality. We all fit somewhere on it and there is plenty of room left. There is very much more involved in being a woman than lying in heels on a sofa reading Cosmopolitan. Real life is out there for those who wish to embrace the reality BUT for some that reality exists in fantasy and maybe some escapism. This is why I do not call myself transgender. I am transfemale and that is a done deal for me. I live, work and play as a grown woman and take what sh*it comes with that. I do not accept the insults or bigotry on any subject and my life is no different.

But, just as water finds its own level, so must the individual, and I believe that often that level is seldom equal for many individuals. So many have it far worse than I have ever or will. To each their own ability and need :)
