Yeah, I'm from North Carolina, but grew up in Eastern Europe, and became a woman in London.
When I was little, the idea of waking up as a girl was like a fairytale. I had this idea that I'd meet a witch who would transform me. From the moment I found out that it was actually possible, I went to bed each night feeling that when it happens, it will be the best day of my life. And it was!
I'd love to be a woman for one day of my life... God... I would be drunk with power.
Three, community built on androgynous identity will mean the end of transsexuality as we know it.

HA! I looked hot as a chick!
My change from girl to boy was far less dramatic than the distance anybody travels from infancy to adulthood.

These are the folk who may pass into the kingdom of heaven: the grief-stricken, lovers, scholars of a certain obsessive disposition. Brute beasts. Women who have become as men and men who have become as women. Writers of books with long titles. Only those knights who have failed to touch the Grail. Industrious women. You, and I, and a boy named Oleg, and a girl with blue hair.
