In the literal sense, not yet you're not.
You can't just decide you're a woman. THAT will lead to problems and ridicule.
I can vouch that it is not a case of "just deciding" as our friend here states. My own sister-in-law is gunning for the surgery to become male. She even still likes men, although she's been on the hormones for a while now so hell, that'll probably change. But this is something that's nagged at her for a long time, as long as I've known her (almost seven years) and probably longer before that.
As for problems and ridicule? You know the only reason that it'll lead to that? Because of people like
you. As the thread over at BCB shows quite well, it's quite possible to not give a stuff or even be supportive when it comes to this issue, and I have been for quite a while myself. As Sue states in her post on the first page, it's because this community is ridiculously judgmental and even the "smart" people here are loving morons - not necessarily morons in that they're unintelligent. I'm talking more like white supremacist style. Hell, even I'm like that sometimes, because let's face it, the difference between the two main groups here is so astoundingly jarring that it does leave one in the mood to re-enact the Holocaust with children in place of Jews.
Well, Sue, best of luck with it anyway. I can't say I agree with your views, but hey who gives half a stuff. It's your decision and not anyone elses, and if I didn't think that's what you planned to do anyway, I'd say something like "
and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!" just to be cheesy and maybe a little creepy.
Aaaaand just to get the being a richardhead out of the way:
a) I knew it (seriously, I saw this coming miles away - the being a man part but not so much the transgender element)
