Leaving It Behind
2001.11.19

I sometimes wonder when, if ever, I'll be able to leave this phase of my life behind. I wonder when I'll wake up, shower, grab breakfast, and leave for work without really considering my TG-ness. I'd like to reach a point where anything TG plays a relatively minor role.
This doesn't mean going stealth or severing ties with the TG community. It doesn't necessarily mean closing this web site or not going to any TG talks/conferences/groups. And it definitely doesn't mean denying the fact that I once lived as a male.
I'd like to think that TG will remain a part of me much like the fact that I was an officer in clubs I belonged to. That is, you meet a lot of nice people and have a good time. Your life gets enriched by it and you never really forget the way your life changed during those times. And somewhere when I'm reminiscing on some cool winter night I recall the way things used to be.
