So I was chatting with the same wonderful woman who gave me sanctuary from Muncie at a time in my transition when I needed it most. I had just concluded I was in fact, a transsexual with lesbian tendencies and not gay, a cross-dresser, or transvestite. Oh, I knew from London that I wanted to be a woman... but why for? What did it mean? I needed advice, markers showing the path, inspiration... I had to meet others like me.
Ms. Ma was an inspiration. She introduced me to other trannies, some I got on with, others I didn't, but more importantly, she showed me that the tunnel did indeed have an end, and the light there was not an oncoming train! She was then further in transition than I am now... full of confidence, life, and leading a very successful career in technology.
She was bemused at my desires to leaven the lot for other trannies. She did not see herself as a role model because she was living as just another normal woman. I told her that's precisely why she was a role model! How much better this place will be when we have positive role models for our kind. Don't get me wrong, having our own section in the video aisle at the porn shop is kinda cool, but there are other opportunities.
... I think there are anyway ... it's an untested theory.
