I was born with cerebral palsy in 1960. I have gender dysphoria. The cause is said to be a lack of testosterone in the foetus during the second stage of genetic programming. Gender dysphoria can occur at all ages. This school of thought is that, when gender dysphoria takes place, is when the testosterone level is lowering, allowig the feminine side to take place.
I struggled to crossdress on my own for many years, when cross dressing was just a fetish for me, up untill four years ago. Like most tvs, I felt guilty and ashamed of what I did.
About four years ago I got hocked up to the World Wide Web. I found hundreds of websites, as I read through some of the biographies on transgendered websites, I felt the biographies were about me!
The giult, the self deniale, the binning of clothes, ran through a lot of pages. For a tranny or a transexal with a disability, there are more problems. The ability to dress, having to ask personal assistents to dress you or negative attitudes of an insitution.
My personal assistents now help me dress and I’m Lyn full time. I go out dressed and everyone accepts me. I love being me and feel that if people are disgusted by me, it’s their own ignorant and biggerted veiws that’s the problem.
Now it's the year 2000 and last year has been quite special to me. About February I went to see a specialist in
gender disorders. I felt more and more uncountable about being a man. Since then,
I have been having female hormone treatment. People now know me as Lyn and I feel happier not having to pretend to be Dave.
This site is a support site for anyone who is transgendered, or if you want to give any advise or information, I'll put it on my site. So femail me.
Post me your transgendered stories and I'll put them on my site, true or fictional.
