@missjodylee you are an amazing, honest, strong and passionate person!

Keep believing in yourself, follow your dreams and never forget who you are! Keep your feet on the ground and be proud of yourself, wear that smile with pride!

Reading this reminded me of a book I read "a million little pieces" if you like reading maybe you'd like it, what that guy went through was amazing and opened my mind in many ways!

Love, laugh and live! X
 
Thanks, I will definately look the book up. Love reading.

When I was little, my elder brother threw an axe at me and it hit me ( thankfully the wrong way round) straight on in the face and broke my nose! 3 weeks later, he threw a metal cap gun at me and again hit me in the face rebreaking any healing my nose had done! He then proceeded to ask me to hold some caps for him and he would show me how they made a noise and dropped a paving slab on my hand and the cap!!!

When i was 17 i had early stages of cervical cancer cells andhad to have laparoscopy, colposcopy and laser treatment.

My husband is 17 years older then me - we met when i was 20 and he was 38.

I have got a tattoo that covers my entire left side of my rib cage. it is a chinese dragon and wanted to have a phoenix on the other side but hubby actually hate tattoo's so begged me not to have it done!

Some of your storiws are so inspirational and beautiful.

Chameleon - although a long time since your original post, i wanted to say thank you for posting it. it makes me very proud to hear that other people's prejudice hasn't stopped you from living your life to the fullest and helping others who feel they can't be who they know they are because of society and the select few small minded people. It also saddens me to watch the video you posted and read of the souls whose lives were taken both through ignorance and through what I can only descrive as prejudiced medical negligence :( xxx

MissJodyLee - you are truly an inspiration xxxxx
 
My grandad and Noddy Holders dad were best men at each others wedding.

I had a lung tumour when I was 22 and had part of my lung removed. Turned out to be a rare tumour. Never smoked in my life .

I have a massive phobia of rats . Cant even look at them in a book or .t.v so if I ever came face to face with one I would die.

I cant go in a pet shop until someone has checked there aren't rats or mice in cages.

I cannot go in a butchers shop the smell makes me gag for my life. Once I was actually physically sick after being in a butchers in the middle of the market . I think it was the most embarrassing and memorable day of my life.:o
 
Thanks Brittone
That's very kind of you to say x
 
One of my Ancestors dated one of Jack the Rippers victims, he was also a suspect.

I'm afraid of Caterpillars.

After loosing two babies I was told I would die if I risked getting preg again, I took the risk and went on to have another, she is almost 10 now :)

I once served Ian Beale some childrens sunglasses and clothes in john lewis haha.He was pretty miserable he wanted to send the stuff to hold for pick up later i was to scared to ask his real name and didnt know it so i wrote Ian Beale on the tag!!

We moved 3 times in 11months.. We have lived in tenerife for 14 months and only gone to the beach once!

I'm 24 and still sleep with my bear i got when i was born he's called marshmallow and now only has one ear. :)
 
I was on the front page if the local paper (Liverpool echo) when I was 8 (20 ish yrs ago) because the fire brigade had to come and free me when my me toe got stuck in a toy pram swelled up and got was cuttung off circulation.

Lol

Don't know what's worse the fact I was on the paper (must of been a SLOW news day)

Or that i will never understand why my mum phoned the fire brigade (off which 9 turned up for a laugh) rather than asking the man next door if he had a hack saw in his shed..............

Well I was in the news of the world paper when i was 8mths pregnant with my second child & I was fuming mad!! I was at our local beach with my mum & we saw a flasher &#58381; we had to go to court & everything because he was a nutter, but when I was in the witness box his lawyer was a smart arse & asked if I was sure the man had been naked?? I pointed to my bump & assured the cocky lawyer that I knew what the naked male form looked like! The court was in an uproar & the sheriff (female) smirked, the snotty lawyer was silenced but the newspapers made a big deal of it, I was mortified when it went national & my workmates cut it out of the paper & stuck it in the window :the shame: lol

This is quite an interesting thread and it is enjoyable reading about people and thier lives....and the odd thing or two that may well be surprising.

As for myself,i have led an unconventional life to some but for me quite normal.

You see although i was born a male physically i cforrected my birth gender to female.I was born transgendered,and also if that was not enough Klinefelter's syndrome is a condition that i inherited somehow genetically.

The long and short of it is that i have an extra X chromosome,so i i should be wonder woman!!!

I transitioned early in life,when i was 18,and had surgery by the time i was in my eraly 20,s.I had breast augmentation in Paris,and then my GRS surgery in London in the mid 90s....

Prior to surgery i always had a conception of myself as female,just did not have the parts to match my brain....after all gender is not identified between the legs,but between the ears:idea:

I had support from my family,and especially my grandmother....but i moved away from home at 18....thought i knew better...went to France and Italy....worked a "colourful" lifestyle,and funded the money for my surgery.

I now work with transitioning transgendered people and act as a lifestyle coach and help trans people ease into society....shopping going out...and all kinds of beauty wether it be make up skin or nails.

I choose not to live in stealth...just because i am a trans woman does not mean i have to hide who i am....some choose to hide thier past....i do not....

I believe in educating people who are willing to listen.

I am a succesful woman with a linguistics degree and intend on starting a post graduate degree in Speech and Language therapy this Autumn,part time while i continue to teach.

There have been alot of trans people who have died and been murdered just for being themselves.

I hope that you can see for yourself that we as trans people do not need to justify something that happened at conception and to recognise that we do not have a mental disorder but a condition in the part of the brain that sees ourselves as male or female.

For those of you who know me you know this is not surprising....but i am proud of who i am:hug:
May those who have passed to spirit rest in peace xx

Wow... You are an inspiration! You ROCK!!! Xxx
