Hello, I am new to this group.

[Christine00]

My name is Christine Waits. I am a m2f non op transsexual. I was on the track for reassignment surgery. I jumped through the Benjamin hoops. I was on mones for 4 years, two years with the pshrink. I have my two letters of recommendation. I had a scheduled date of June 11, 2005 in Plunket, Thailand. I had the funds. A few months before June I was surfing for airline arrangements when someone very special to me asked me not to. It was a big decision maybe the biggest decision I had ever made to that point. I decided not to keep my date. Have I regretted it? Sometimes I get blue thinking of my other destiny. But if I had to make the decision over, it would be the same.

Some of my ts sisters will no doubt be shaking their heads now and may even be thinking that I did not keep the faith. If so, please don't judge me until you have been to the precipice and looked over the edge yourself.

See! This is the kind of courage and bravery that just blows me away! And we "regular?" folk whine and snivel about mundane daily activities. I applaud your courage! Hang in there and Welcome to the forum! (and this comming from a str8 guy!)

Hi Christine. Welcome. I am happy for those who choose what is right for them, not what is right for others. I have seen so may jump at what others tell them to do. Often they have hissy fits becaasue they seem something wrong in themselves and project it on you. Believe me, I know how that feels.

Again, welcome. Hope to meet you someday.

Hi Christine - Welcome!
Hope we meet someday.
You know what? Noone else has walked your path. So to h*ll with ANYONE who tries to judge you. We make the best decisions we can based on the data we have, yes? At least for me - adjusting to the outcome of my decisions is where my real life occurs. And so it goes.
Welcome!
I'm a pre-op MTF. Jumped through the SOC hoops ( 1 year RLT, 2 shrinks, 2 letters , been on mones 3 years, crosslived since 2003.
In the Mardi Gras gallery look for a pic of 2 beautiful ladies. 1 has long dark hair, a beautiful smile and is kinda exotic - dare I say hot looking. A Lara Croft type.
1 has blonde hair, a slate blue sweater and dark glasses. That's me.
Later my friend.
