I looked at the pictures of some of the women at the luncheon and had a new feeling for me; recognition, connection and a sense of, well, sisterhood. These women are older, younger, taller, thinner, heavier; in other words a typical crowd of women. I don't have to "fit in" to be a trassexual woman, I just AM one. I'm beginning to get a glimmer of what natal women have to deal with in terms of fitting the culture's image. I'm proud to be trans.
