Talk is cheap.
So a while back, when I wrote my first "notaphase" post, I said that "an explanation would be forthcoming". It hasn't been. Mainly because all the people who need to know more details have spoken to me about it(almost, anyway.) And it seems like some people don't want to know any details at all, or else realise that it's kind fo awkward to talk about(thanks!).
It can be awkward to talk about in real life, because the conversation can tend to feel like I'm on trial - like I'm having to prove that I really do feel like a woman on the inside. It's obviously hard to do, since no-one can ever feel what I feel(at least not now - get a move on, science!).
Some people just plain don't want to talk about it, either. Gender is a really complex issue(although most people don't realise it) and questioning it or defying genital-based logic can confound and scare people. I have managed to build up a nice, small-but-loyal readership here again after this summer's dry spell, and I don't want to drive them away by constantly talking about how normal I finally feel when I've got my tits strapped on.
So, in the next few days I'll be putting another blog on this site(the third) dealing specifically with my transsexuality. The first post will be on the problems of name-choosing, I think. The detailed history of why I'm doing this can wait a week or so. Because that is a looong post.
