TRANS
|
I feel compelled to write something. I identify as male. I'd say a versatile male meaning I like to top and I like to bottom. I can go into great detail as to how I have come to understand my comfort level with this. Even so, I have been very frustrated in finding a like minded man friend. I 'happened' on a posting in C-List 'F2M'. I had never responded to anything like it before and stated so in my reply. We met. I saw him as man. He spoke openly. I was and am fascinated. He is a body builder. I had been in 3 competitions myself. I did not know he was into bodybuilding until we met. I admired his fore arms...and could tell that he is an accomplished bodybuilder. I smilingly said or maybe I thought it..."man, you really are a body builder." AND I was so Proud of him. --- I was married once and am now divorced...it's a long story, not as interesting as you might think. At this stage of my life, I cannot imagine rather, I have difficulty imagining being married to a woman again. It is hard to imagine having sex with a woman again. Yet, I found (in my mind) the idea of having sex with this F2M (with lower body still bio unchanged) very inviting. I did not say so for concern that I might appear insensitive and only an experiment in exploration and nothing would be further from the truth. (Suddenly I am aware that maybe I am saying all this for me and no one else to say it to.) I did however ask if we might meet again. He had made the parting comment that he had few male friends. I said I'd be glad to be one of them. ---He offered to share this site with me. After watching the short video I am amazed at how much my heart goes out to all who may find themselves --- I do not know how to complete this sentence...I am sorry. ---I was raised a very conservative christian and say again how my my heart embraces all of you. ---I noticed that as I write this, there are 5945 viewings and only 7 comments. I did not know what to say and suppose many do not know what to say but I could not close out the window without saying something. :-) I was struck at the part where the one man would run to his mother's room to find something of hers to put on and feel the mother's identity...If I paraphrased it correctly...that I did the same thing when my folks would leave the house, (when I was 7, 8 or 9yo) but I ran to my parents room to find my dad's swim trunks and I'd put them on. I'd find his condoms under the mattress and peal them open and put the gigantic think on and well the rest is unimportant. The point is that I always wanted to identify with my dad. I can only guess that he was so absent that now, I want to give the love and nurture to another man as I wish I had received. So there I think I have said what I needed to say...except to say again, My heart accepts You. :-) Be well.

Description:
"TRANS" is a feature documentary now in post production scheduled for exclusive release in selected festivals and markets in early 2012."TRANS" is an up-close and very personal journey into the transgender world through the memorable stories and the unusual lives of a remarkable cast of characters. It begins with the story of Lt. Commander Christopher McGinn, a Navy flight surgeon selected by NASA to serve on two space missions. But, upon his discharge from the armed forces, Chris McGinn would set out upon a different mission from which he was never to return. Now Dr. Christine McGinn is able to tell her own amazing story, (picked up by the media on both MSNBC and the Oprah Winfrey show) and provide an entrance into a complex and dramatic world that is "TRANS." You may watch our previous DEMO REEL (Finding New Hope) that tells Dr. Christine's story in greater detail. On the main screen above WATCH A BRIEF SAMPLE of just four of our many stories that will give you a glimpse of a few of the other characters featured in TRANS. Danann, a 7 year old MTF (male to female) who knew who she was at 2 years old and has spent the rest of her short life making believers out of her parents and the rest of her world. Cris, who only recently came to the realization that he is transgendered in a college classroom. Pam and Erica, who had never met, but had been living the same lie for over 50 years. Now they are about to undergo surgery and begin new lives in their mid 50s. Finally we glimpse a moment from San Francisco's Transgender Day of Remembrance and witness a community under siege. These are the stories of boys and girls, men and woman and all the shades in between. Stories of extraordinary people who face fear, discrimination, ignorance and violence in the hopes they might one day be able to live ordinary lives.
