No …<\/p>\n
That’s NOT code for something !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of the questions I’ve received from viewers …<\/p>\n
And since the posts I have in the pipe seem to be a bit intense,<\/p>\n
I figured I’d ease you back into all things Amy with some thoughtful questions from others.<\/p>\n
So here goes:<\/p>\n
1. Is your life now as Amy how you thought it would be once you went through transition\/surgeries?<\/i><\/p>\n
No. Absolutely not. My life now is so much better than I ever imagined that it could have become. I simply cannot describe how much easier it is to live just being myself, without constantly having to think about how I’m supposed to act, what I’m supposed to do, in order not to let anyone figure out I wasn’t really a boy. Now don’t get me wrong, life is still life … it’s a serious pain in the butt at times … work sucks some days, televisions die, it’s cold as the beejeebers out there and you need to fill your car up with gas, and butts that don’t even know you and who probably play with themselves daily or cheat on their wives weekly are mocking you behind your back … but still, handling all those normal challenges of life is so much easier as myself than playing someone I wasn’t. So no, it’s nothing at all like I thought it would be … it’s much, much better.<\/p>\n
2. Have you had your first kiss with a man yet? Is so, what was it like?<\/i><\/p>\n
You’re new here, aren’t you ? Yes, I have. As far as what it’s like … depends on the guy. I won’t say that I have lots of experience kissing men (shut up !!!!), but I can say … from what I’ve learned so far, it’s just like when I was a guy and kissed girls … it depends on the person I’m kissing.<\/p>\n
Some guys are like kissing wet wads of spit; some guys are like kissing a slobbering St. Bernard who puts his entire mouth all over yours as if he’s going to suck your entire face in some Alien sort of manner, but then tries to shove his entire tongue down your throat; and then there are some guys that really know how to kiss.<\/p>\n
Just for the record, in my opinion, a good kiss involves each of the five major senses … though the sense of sight is experienced in its inverse, as you should always kiss with your eyes closed.<\/p>\n
3. Have you met a new circle of friends that know only Amy? If yes, do you see them often? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes, I have. My transition has certainly not developed in the way I anticipated that it would in that respect. I thought I would have kept the same group of friends for the most part, but pretty much my entire social life is now spent with people I didn’t know a year ago (though I still see Shaft most days at work and I usually catch-up with Krazy Kat Lady once every couple of weeks or so for a beer.)<\/p>\n
I do remain close and spend a ton of time with my family, aunts and uncles and way kick-ass cousins … who collectively comprise the best family in the world !!!<\/p>\n
As far as why the changeover in friends? Well, with some, it’s deliberate no doubt – there are those that are just not comfortable hanging with a girl that used to be a guy; with others, it might just be a temporary thang … a bit of uncertainty while processing my whole change; and with others, well, it’s just life moving things in different directions – nothing mean-spirited or anything like that … it just happens.<\/p>\n
4. Are you really a transsexual?<\/i><\/p>\n
Ahhhhh … that’s like the best compliment I think I can receive as a t-girl … of course I’m taking it to mean you’re suggesting I’m such a damn good looking chica !! lol \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Hey, cut me some slack … I can dream !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Anyways, yuhp … I’m a real, live, honest to goodness transsexual.<\/p>\n
Though, actually, it’s a really good question in the theoretical sense. Some are of the opinion that once they transition, they are no longer transsexual as they cease experiencing the dysphoria caused by an incongruity between brain and body; others are of the opinion that it’s when one has the final genital realignment surgery (or genital reassignment surgery or sex reassignment surgery or whatever you feel like calling it :)) that one ceases being transsexual; and still others think regardless of whether or not they’ve transitioned or had surgery, they will always be transsexual.<\/p>\n
I don’t think there is any set answer and I’m really not sure it matters a bit. Unless for medical purposes, I really don’t see why it would matter. Though I respect each person’s viewpoint and reference accordingly.<\/p>\n
As for me, I tend to think that when I was born with a brain\/body conflict, that is what made me a transsexual, and though I’ve treated it and no longer suffer from the associated gender dysphoria, it’s still a term that describes the congenital<\/a> nature of condition as it applied to me. Plus, despite the ease of life which I am able to live now, there is still that possibility that always exists that my past may become an issue for someone … so to me, once a transsexual, always a transsexual. It’s no big deal though and I’m certainly not embarassed about it. So yes, I’m a transsexual. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n 5. What’s your bowling average?<\/i><\/p>\n
