Keep working the way you have for the past year, and it will. A wise friend told me that transitioning is 25% physical and 75% mental. You are doing aces on both fronts, girl, so keep on keepin' on!!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />CassCassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765803435751308973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908697544338402434.post-50656728622870176372014-07-19T19:53:07.741-06:002014-07-19T19:53:07.741-06:00Wikipedia... the gateway drug to insomnia.
I'...Wikipedia... the gateway drug to insomnia.<br /><br />I've read the original Little Mermaid story before and, yeah, it's pretty depressing. No voice, feeling like walking on broken glass, needs to woo the prince at his engagement party (so no real chance), and then... sea foam. I did not know the rest though... very interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908697544338402434.post-68342663340456824482014-07-19T14:16:06.843-06:002014-07-19T14:16:06.843-06:00Thanks :)
In addition to the ambiguous genitals, ...Thanks :)<br /><br />In addition to the ambiguous genitals, I suspect the story of The Little Mermaid, and her quest to become a woman, has something to do with it as well.<br /><br />What's interesting is that the author, Hans Christian Anderson, almost certainly had an atypical gender identity.

This past year or so has probably been the most emotional time of my life, ranging from estatic highs where I'm so happy just to know that I'm a girl, to some very dark lows from not being able to express it.Ashley W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16520401312406852554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908697544338402434.post-31351194632254124662014-07-18T20:16:15.034-06:002014-07-18T20:16:15.034-06:00(((hugs)))

In the video they talked about how much she loved mermaids, to the point of even designing herself a mermaid tail to use in their pool.
