I was scrolling through blogs and one drew my attention.
Have you evere heard about a person born in the alien body? No, I don't speak about some Chewbacca body. I mean a body which is alien to your real nature, to your real gender.

How is it feels to be a trangendered person in our harsh society? I'm sure not that comfortable.

Here is the story of blitterfly. She did it and I'm happy for her
   

"After nearly 7 months of work (and planning since last summer), I finally had my court appointment this afternoon to have my name and gender officially and legally corrected. I was really panicky last night (thank you roman_kard for comforting me), but this morning I was merely anxious.

bluewolfcv and I had lunch with my lawyer and her wife, then we went down to the court. The judge we were originally assigned was a Republican, and while she was okay with my petition she didn't want to be the one to sign it. So she took us up the back way (in the Judgevator, as she called it), and we went to another judge's chambers.

He apparently had experience with trans people before, and basically had a fill-in-the-blank court order all ready to go. He asked me a couple of the obvious questions (such as "Are you going to use this to evade the law or creditors?"), then he printed it off and signed it. We were in and out in like 20 minutes.

So now I have, in my hot little hands, a certified copy of a court order saying that my name is Heather Elise McLean and my gender is female.

Never again will I be ashamed to show my ID. Never again will I be forced to fill out paperwork using someone else's name.

I am free."

Let's pray for more tolerance in this world.

Arther, these people understand that they in the wrong body almost since the moment they are born.
They just can't leave normally and their life is a tragedy until they correct that mistake.

You have a problem with people of a different race, now what have transgendered people done to you?

Do you have any tolerance?

I’m sure our poor ecology, nuclear weapon trials and genetic engineering have something to do here.

I don’t understand people who change their gender by means of surgery. By doing so they go against the nature and who knows that what consequences can they expect.

Hi there, as you can guess I am the person whose blog Sandy linked to. I always find interesting the wide range of reactions I get to my story.

While I'm not going to tell people what to believe (I know better than to argue with someone over matters of faith in particular), I'm just going to give an explanation of how I see things.

I am, in fact, a religious person. I believe in God and Jesus. I also believe that what I'm doing is the right thing to do. Many people have a difficult time understanding how I could possibly reconcile the two. In particular, arthter said something that I hear quite frequently: How can I accuse God of making such a mistake?

The answer is that I don't. God did not make a mistake in creating me. I was born with the soul that I was intended to have, in a body that does not accurately represent that soul. I believe that it was God's intention to make me a transsexual. This is the experience I was intended to have. It is not an easy existence at all, and it has frequently tested my courage, my strength, and my faith. Through these trials, I believe that I have become a far better person than I was when I started this journey.

It is entirely easy to accuse of me of being sinful, to usurp God's authority and pass judgment on my life. It's something that I'm faced with every day. When you sit back and throw accusations at me, without any idea what it is like to be me, you only prove your ignorance. I did not transition from male to female because I thought it was amusing or out of some sort of sexual perversity, and I definitely did not do it to invite the ignorant insults of others.

I did it because I love myself and I want to be true to myself. And when you know what you need to do to live a happy and fulfilling life, the only sin is in not pursuing it.

I have nothing against transsexuals. I was visiting a show in a night club featuring transsexuals, it was a really interesting show.  Being a transsexual for these guys means earning money. I believe you don’t earn money being transsexual, you just cannot leave another way. Can you?

Well, the show I attended was called “the show of transvistites” . I thought these are guys dressed like women for a show.  And they do not necessarily should be gays or transsexuals. 

I'm not extremely interested in this topic, but as far as you are here,
I would like to know:
how much did it cost?
is it painful or not?
how stressful was it for your mentality?

Unbelievable story!
