Sebastian I have a question...

I don't mean to offend, but as posted before I'm trying to learn my way through understanding my daughter more. So if I post something wrong, please let me know in kind words, don't "yell" at me...


I don't understand what transgender is? Is it a sex change thing and is that something I will have to face in the future? How do you know the difference because I realize not all lesbians have sex changes, but what feelings are different?


Again I'm just trying to learn, I apologize for anything I may ask that is offensive...

Something Pam posted got me thinking.
I hope you won’t mind my questions; it’s out of curiosity not meanness.

Do you consider yourself a he?
I’ve always thought of you as a she, specifically Gigi since that’s the handle I first saw you as. But it did jar me to read he in her post when referring to you. Of course I won’t call you Gigi since you’re going by Sebastian now, so don’t worry.

If you consider yourself as a he, than does that mean you’re an honorary member of LL, since this board is for women only? How do the public see you right now, a male or female? How do you deal with public restrooms?

Thanks for the welcome :-)


I do love my girlie and just want her to be happy. I see her friends who have parents who are "too" busy for their children and it breaks my heart. They all have their own self image issues as we all did as teens and some of us still do, it must be painful to not have that unconditional support. She and I have become closer since her coming out because she feels more comfortable being herself and that's all I ever wanted for her.

Eastie,


I will let Sebastian answer the questions you posted to him but as a CL I need to clarify something.

Hi Eastie! I know that I'm answering this question very late. I haven't been able to be up and running just yet. I don't mind answering your questions.

Your first question: Do you consider yourself a he? Yes, I do. I'm going through a considerable amount of changes: I am beginning to go through my transformation meaning, I have begun my hormone therapy, which means I've begun my testosterone shots. Along with those shots comes the 24/7 life of a man. Meaning I will be living as a man. My other changes include mental and emotional. Of the course, the change is very gradual and not ubrupt. In my mind and in my spirit I'm a man. But I'm a very enlightened man. I respect women completely.

How do the public see me? Male or female? Well, before I realized that I was a transgender, I was mistaken to be a man mainly because of my body build, facial hair, etc. But as the testosterone takes hold of my body, I will be more male, i.e. body fat distribution, muscle build-up, excess hair growth, increased sex drive, shorter temper etc. The public sees me as I appear, a female. But, eventually, they will see a male. Only the people that know me, personally, know of my intimate changes.

How do you deal with public restrooms? LoL! I still use the ladies room. Until my appearance becomes more evident that I am a male, then I'll use the men's room, but until then, I'll be using the ladies room! Roflol! But I'm hoping that there will be unisex bathrooms coming to the United States, but I'm not holding my breath! lol!

If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks Eastie! Hugs!

Sebastian

Sabastion,
Hello out there my friend.
How happy I am to see you doing what you want to with your life and body. I asked questions of you sometime back and I am sure I will have more as time goes on. Thank you for feeling like you can share this with us.
I heard you had a fire and am sorry that things went so wrong for you. I am so happy that you are alright.
It's so good to hear ffrom you my friend! Keep in touch! I am having e-mail trouble here in our area. They are doing upgrades. When you get up and running I would like to give you my phone number again. Or you can get it from Lesli.
I miss you!

Hey Laurie!!!

I don't mind sharing anything about myself with anyone, to tell you the truth, Laurie. As long as the questions don't get too personal, ask away!!! LOL! By the time I get up and running, I'll email you for your phone number, write it down and delete it.

I'm at my honey bunny's all of this week and barring distraction, I'll be around for the rest of this week.

Hugs!

Sebastian
