I watched a documentary on the Discovery Channel about what a male has to go through to become a "female" and it is a long process… he may not be a "she" for several more years…

Kong heard about this, but it isn't true. Larry started having a relationship with some dominatrix lady, and her upset and jealous husband said that Larry was a crossdressser. So, Larry dressed up like a woman as a joke. Of course, the British tabloids promptly went ******* and said he was going to have a sexchange.

I was interested to search information about what found
with keywords Lana Wachowski from Google and found this forum.
I had to comment to your posting because I can tell that
you actually don't have first hand experience with a transsexual
(based what you had written).

First of all: Noone can change their gender. The gender is what is, forever.
But a mistake can happen and the body can be malformed (prior to birth) to look like a body of a opposite
sex and thus making the gender wrongly identified at the birth.
It's cause is quite unknown but sometimes it has something to do
with full or partial chromosome disorders (such as XXY etc.).
The difference is (according to some latest research) in the
brain (where the gender identity is, it is not between the legs, even with those who have male caryoptype XY), in
other words, a transsexual woman is woman even if she would look
like male in some phase of her life and should be therefore never
called as "he" because doing so would be a great insult against her. If the person who you were talking about can't decide, perhaps he/she is not a real transsexual, because real transsexuals often know who they are and what they do want.

I need to say that you have been a bit misinformed with the issue since transsexuality has nothing to do with sexuality issues and those S/M relationships (dominatrixs etc.) are strictly a sexual issue that has nothing to do with transsexuality and treatment of transsexuals.

I can say all this because I know it. I am a post-op male to female transsexual by myself and I have very first hand experience about everything what comes into the gender _correction_ process (it is not change, it is a correction). It is not a lifestyle and has definately nothing to do with sexuality. I have been female from inside from my childhood. I have never wanted to be or become a boy or a man and actually I never really was one.

Because of the claims you represented were quite wrong, I would like to advise you to read Lynn Conway's website throughly. It describes transsexuality quite well.

http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/conway.html

Also you like many others, seem to confuse gender correction
surgery (also called sex reassignment surgery) as a operation that
solves the whole issue. The truth is that it doesn't. Treatment
of transsexuality involves years of hormonal treatment (that lasts rest of patient's life), hair removal (that is a very painful, expensive and long lasting operation, done with laser and electrolysis techniques) and multiple surgeries including two major operations that are facial feminization surgery and sex reassignment surgery where the facial feminization surgery is even more important than the final step (SRS) in passability as female. In my opinion, assumed Miss Wachowski,
is not at all hopeless source material for FFS. After FFS, her face can actually end up looking quite good.
For more information about FFS, please read Lynn Conway's article:

http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/~mirror/FFS/LynnsFFS.html

This is also recommended for viewing, if you falsely have an image of a freak in your mind if you hear the term transsexual:
http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conw...Sgallery1.html

And what comes to the SRS, it will not become a operation that
anyone can do. It is very complex operation that involves many
surgical hours in operating room. My SRS did took only 6 hours but some cases can require even 10 hours long operation. Not anyone can
succeed to do that since it is a very complex task since there are major nerves and blood vessels down there that must be carefully preserved in order to ensure post-operative orgasmic ability. Currently Dr. Suporn's technique is one of the most advanced variations of the commonly used SRS technique. For more details about SRS, feel free to look at Dr. Suporn's page:

http://www.srs-thailand.com

Also Dr. Suporn does FFS and he actually did my FFS along with SRS. Despite he is in Thailand that many could consider a less sivilized country, the truth is that there are no equal surgeons with my knowledge in Europe or in the USA.

Because I am living quite much as stealth (noone knows about my past except relatives and closest friends), I can not unfortunately show any of my pictures or other information here (including real name), but I just wanted to tell you all what the issue really is (despite of being possibly off-topic for this forum).
Transsexuality is a major disease that requires treatment.
Untreated transsexuality often leads to death and/or mental illnesses and in the case of real transsexual, the hormonal and surgical treatment is mandatory along with the adatation to the patients real gender's gender role. I know this because I suffered 26 first years of my life pretending in male role and all I can say about it is that it was
great suffering. It required a lots of money, dedication, time
and also luck to be me. For you and the others, it is so easy to be
right gender from the beginning. But not everyone borns that
lucky. If I would have a time machine and the ability to change
history with me, I would not hesitate a fraction to second to alter
my history that I would have never been in male body on the first place. I was never male and the male-looking body never belonged to me. Fortunately I am novadays cured with a body that
is no longer malformed. But this is a serious issue that shoud not be underestimated. I and the other (real, not all who succeed through it are real, that is why the examinations are there, in Finland they are many times stricter than in the USA) male to female transsexuals, are normal women that live their lives like anyone else woulld. We are just people who have had a serious disease and have became cured, quite much comparable to if you would have had a uncureable cancer, but would have became cured from it. My parents and relatives do fully support me and I have had no trouble at work with the issue
either despite I transitioned at work place. Maybe it was easier
to accept since I was never really male, I actually even had first time sex in my life when I was already post-op, I never even tried prior to that anything because it would have felt too horrible to use the genitals that did not belong to me. I had never any relationships with anyone prior to my process and at the age of 5 or something, I remember how I did swore to my mother that I will never marry anybody (me being a husband sounded so radically wrong, and later my mother found out why it was wrong - I was not a boy at all). Now, after the process, I am novadays living in a lesbian relationship, that is romantic relationship like majority of lesbian
relationships are and definately not anything freaky such as a
S/M relationship that have been discussed and whatever. It is possible that a normally gendered person can
have weird sexuality. And it is still possible that a transsexual can
have a weird sexuality, but I think it is more rare than with those that the majority call normals. Actually non-transsexual women are more often
more active sexually than male to female transsexuals. We can be even more passive than natal women because the testosterone level of a post-op transsexual woman is extremely low (causing relatively low level of
sexuality and quite much a lack of agression, violence and other male behavioral features).

For more information, how the details of the process go, in addition to Lynn Conway, Andrea James has built a very impressive web site about the issue as well: http://www.tsroadmap.com

Anyway, perhaps, if L. Wachowski is really female (a real transsexual) (no matter what the sexual preference/relationship would be, that is not that important in this issue), I wish her luck in her process and hope that she will not go too far with any S/M hobbies since any scarring to the pre-operative genitals can cause for example my doctor (Dr. Suporn), to say "No SRS", for example a single genital piercing (that seem to be popular in those circles) into a wrong place can ruin all the possibilities for successful SRS outcome
later in the life and cause doctors to say "NO!" (money can't help if the doctor says no, it is not something that one can buy). I write this here only because I have no other way to write a warning message to L. Wachowski about this specific and very important issue (in the case she would happen to be she, not he, it is too early to do any final judgements about that yet (in my opinion) due to lack of verified information).

Ok, no problem, you're welcome, it is nice to to sometimes show to people how it looks like "outside the Matrix" actually. I may discuss about movies if I find an interesting topic, since I happen to love movies. I watch movies both in the movies and home (home theater).

Last time today I went to movies with one my male friend (that is by the way gay, because of being his friend I am quite familiar with them).

The movie was called "Identity". Quite surprising ending, without it the movie would have been a class B horror film, but the ending made it more interesting allthough I would still rate it possibly to two and half stars out of five. Matrix compared to that for example is excellent, especially with its hidden things, meanings and messages that can be noticed only with careful watching. I will definately buy the DVD as well. And as you can guess, my favourite movie number one is of course the Lord of the Rings.
I am waiting really much the last part of the trilogy allthough I of course know quite exactly what is going to happen in it since I have read the J.R.R. Tolkien's books quite many times.

About your suggestion of using the transsexual term in the name is not a good idea in my opinion despite I am, or actually was, since I have been already cured from the
problem. Marketing my past too much is not so fun (I reveal the past only for educational purpose and anonymously, Katriina is a pseudonym) because there
is nothing good in it (I did nothing that I could have not done if I would have born in female body) if watching from my point of view. Big **** happened to me when I was born in the body of wrong gender, but I fortunately survived from it.
A person that have been cured from cancer doesn't market himself as a cancer-man in discussion forums either despite he may be extremely happy that he lived and did not die. Of course good thing with this is that I can know how precisious gift it is to be in same gender body than the mind is (without the continuous disorder feeling that haunts the transsexual person (prior to corrections) her/him to everywhere and never gives any mercy). That can be only really understood by seeing it from the disorder condition some time.

My wish is that the transsexuality should become able to be
diagnosed in early childhood (for example with a brain scan or something similar technique without the excessive psychiatristic examinations) so that the M2F patient never would need
to try to live in the wrong gender role and all the treatments would be started at as early age as possible so that the patient would never become affected with the testosterone (in the case of male to female transsexual). The feeling of testosterone is something I still can unfortunately remember. It felt somehow dirty, freaky and uncomfortable and I always felt that I do stink,
most of the time the uncomfortable feeling was quite noticeable, like a mild headache, but continuous and never stopping. The worst thing with it was the constant fear of becoming more masculine, hairy etc. Hormone balance is just one part of the whole issue, but it is quite important part in this sense.

I have a friend that has changed from a man to a woman, I am not sure of the procedure in America, usually people here have to go through a lot before they are ready for the op, but she was working at a local University as the head of a school, she was married with 3 children, she worked as a man, went on holidays to America and came back a woman, she apparently surprised everyone at work as she had never talked about it.

She is a great person, her best friend is her X wife and the children are coming around, she was shunned by a lot of people after the op, but now has a nice group of friends who love and respect her as a woman, oh by the way she tells me she is going out with a very nice fireman who I have yet to meet.
