I took hormone shotsHRT is not "interesting" for many reasons, some are quite obvious, some - not quite. What *I* find "interesting" is getting rid of all dichotomies, in this particular case - "man-woman". "Externally" it should be relatively easily "achieved" if the person is young, pretty and androgynous. (NB: Being "young" or "not" is yet another dichotomy to get rid off. It's "interesting" to be "out of time".) Yeah, "non-binary"... Hello, Buddhism/Hinduism. BTW, look at Hindu gods - their "faces" are very "gender neutral" (from my Western point of view) with slight hints towards the male or female side, and very "young-looking" (yet you see that they have no age). In particular, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardhanarishvara is "a composite androgynous form of the Hindu God Shiva and his consort Parvati. Ardhanarishvara is depicted as half male and half female." Quote:In Book XIII (Mahabharata), Upamanyu praises Shiva rhetorically asking if there is anyone else whose half-body is shared by his spouse, and adds that the universe had risen from the union of sexes, as represented by Shiva's half-female form. In some narratives, Shiva is described as dark and fair-complexioned, half yellow and half white, half woman and half man, and both woman and man. In Book XIII, Shiva preaches to Parvati that half of his body is made up of her body. RE: Any good TV/TS photos around? - Like Ra - 11 Jan 2018 Another fascinating thing is how "our neural network" determines, what (in "our opinion") is male or female. Looking at the transformation timelines, there are certain points, where you can say: "this is a face of a man, despite all the clothing and make-up", and "this is a woman, despite the gender neutral clothes and absence of make-up". There is a dichotomy center, dividing the male and female "areas". These subtle differences cannot be verbalised, yet they are picked up by the brain. RE: Any good TV/TS photos around? - Like Ra - 11 Jan 2018 Non-very-philosophically speaking, I partly agree with Eddie Izzard (BTW, on the photo below he looks like Angela Merkel 😉 ), except that female clothing is "also" a fetish for me. Quote:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Izzard RE: Any good TV/TS photos around? - Tinker D - 11 Jan 2018 Didn't I say that many years ago? I was born a male. Always been a male. But deep down, I relate and am a female. Yep, I am a female, traped in a man's body. I wear whatever I like. But it is very hard to do my work in a skirt or a very nice outfit. And where I live and the work I do in the field, dressing up is not an option. Ever try to change the oil in your car in a bright red top and a short skirt? Not going to happen.

While I'm not of Indian ethnicity, I do love the Mahabharata and toward the end of the Peter Brooks version (the 6 hour film), the brothers must hide for one year. Arjuna, the great manly warrior, hides by dressing and acting as a woman. He teaches dance to the King's daughters. Gender bending has a long, distinguished history in Indian mythology!

I'm now 47 and unless someone knew me before I transitioned, they have no ideal that I'm transgender. The only surgery I've had is bottom/GCS (Gender Confirmation Surgery) 2 months ago but zero facial surgery. I was lucky with what HRT did for me. A lot of transgender woman require FFS (Facial Feminization Surgery) in order to pass. The earlier you start to transition, generally the better the results. Here is my before and after (s): Before: (~ 2012 ) After: 2017 There isn't a lot you can do without at least HRT except for electrolysis (to remove beard) and makeup is about the only other thing without HRT. HRT changes the shape of fat and muscle but doesn't do anything for bone structure. Only surgery can change bone structure.

So you could link Vedanta Jnana Yogi , (I read Swami Vivekananda, and the Autobiography of a Yogi.) and of course, the Greek Literature on Cibylie , the CYBIL had the Easter Day ? where the male followers were castrated etc. etc. (I also read Fraizer's Golden Bough) and my Grandmother a full Native American told me about the Two Spirits among Native American cultures, and the above quote shows you were inspired to read copiously on all construed as cross-dressing. I rather adore the term 'cross dressing" because it personally is what I loved. In the 1960's as a USA Hippie hitch hiker flower child I Was so commonly mistaken as a Girl hitch hiking I get Money from Truck Drivers. Jeez...forget that i said that...but it is silly and funny....I had definitely established a TWO PERSON in my person-hood....Johnny and Joanna. I became so liquid i could be a different person by changing attire....others have told me that. Great response! Voile!
