Your intentions were clearly pure. It's too bad that you haven't been able to reconnect. I hope you get to do that someday. I hope you keep trying to find her every so often. <br /><br />Thanks for your support, too. That means the world to me :) Ramona P. https://www.blogger.com/profile/12287491380049695397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-51786207032900051462013-07-01T03:21:51.243-05:002013-07-01T03:21:51.243-05:00After she found the picture, she said so that'...After she found the picture, she said so that's what he looked like. I asked why she was looking for R. She just wanted to know what he used to look like. Then she asked me what it was like talking to him. I was confused. I hadn't talked to R. at all. I didn't even know he was there. The popular girl said that I'd been talking to him for the last 20 minutes. "No, I didn't. I was talking to ******" That was him. He had a sex change. <br /><br />I immediately stopped talking to her, and went looking for R. I was an idiot. The one person I wanted to talk to, and I'd totally fucked it up. (Sorry for the swearing, but I'm still mad at myself.) I asked around, and she'd left. I ran outside, and checked the parking lot. She was gone.<br /><br />I tried finding her. I contacted the guy that set up our reunion, I left messages for every ****** on facebook, and I called anyone that might know her. I didn't find her.<br /><br />I periodically try to find her. I've basically given up because of the actions of a few that night. I felt lick Huck Finn when he was absorbed by the mob. He didn't do anything wrong, but the perception was that he did. I love to explain this to her. I'd love to be her friend, again. <br /><br />What it all boils down to is that her perception of me is very poor. I'd like to think that we'd be good friends, but I may never get the chance. I really want to make it up to her. <br /><br />R. is a lady now. My degrees were in neuroscience and psychology. I understand about GID. I understand how not fitting into the world's view of you can hurt, both professionally and personally. What I don't understand is how I can make it up to her. And she is a her now. I need to tell her that I'm sorry.<br /><br />If someone does this to you, if they come to you looking for forgiveness, look into their heart, and forgive them if they're trying. Just give them the chance. That's all I want from her. I don't want you to lose out on something because of a mistake. if they deserve a second chance, please, give them one.<br /><br />Best of luck in your transition.<br />neurocellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682975810327678648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-69078854622374534042013-07-01T03:20:44.919-05:002013-07-01T03:20:44.919-05:00Good luck.
Sorry, I wanted to say something, but ...Good luck.<br /><br />Sorry, I wanted to say something, but it was too long. I'll have to break it into a couple of posts.<br /><br />Now comes the hard part. Not for me, but for you. <br /><br />I'm sure you've already run into some friends, or whatever, that didn't know how to act. I'm going to tell you about an experience that I had last year. The only reason that I am is so that if someone is an idiot, and they later come to you to apologize, you'll know that maybe they made a mistake, that they weren't the total jerk that they appeared to be.<br /><br />Last year, I had my 25th high school reunion. I wanted to see as many people as possible, but there were a couple that I really wanted to see. One was a guy named R.<br /><br />I didn't approach people until I knew whom they were, especially after one devastatingly beautiful girl approached me and I couldn't remember her. I did after I saw her yearbook picture, but by then it was too late. <br /><br />There was one girl that looked familiar, but I couldn't place her. I didn't approach her because she was very timid. She's about 6'2", with broad shoulders. I remember a girl that looked like her, but I was sure it wasn't her. I also remember coming to that other girls aid because kids made fun of her.<br /><br />This lady seemed scared. I didn't want to frighten her more, so I was a social butterfly. Eventually she approached me. We spoke. She was happy, if timid. She asked me if I remembered her. I asked her name. It was loud in the bar, and I was just drunk enough to not be able to hear her clearly. I asked her to repeat her name twice more. Her last name was similar to the guy that I really wanted to see. His name ended in an "l", hers with a "d". I apologized for not being able to remember her. I felt bad, because she was a really nice lady.<br /><br />We spoke for a while longer, she went to get a drink, and I drifted over to some activity with the yearbooks. One of the girls that was popular was trying to find someone in the yearbooks. It was the guy that I was looking for, R. I told the popular girl that he didn't have his picture taken once, and the other times he was late, so they'd be at the back of our junior yearbook section. She asked me how I could remember that? I asked her how she couldn't?<br />neurocellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682975810327678648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-39243628821779577132013-06-28T08:06:17.319-05:002013-06-28T08:06:17.319-05:00Thanks, Brian! :)Thanks, Brian! :)Ramona P. https://www.blogger.com/profile/12287491380049695397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-45920855940303510532013-06-28T08:05:39.971-05:002013-06-28T08:05:39.971-05:00Thanks!

I'd prefer they didn't yet, but if they do, I'll deal with it then. It's getting harder to hide every day. <br /><br />I've been pointing out the gradual changes in my appearance to my kids for a while. My therapist and I are game-planning how to come out to them at some point in the next few months.<br /><br />I like working out mainly because it helps tamp down my depression, but losing 50 points in the last 2.5 years is a nice side benefit. I certainly don't mind the idea of being a "curvy" gal at all...Ramona P. https://www.blogger.com/profile/12287491380049695397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-60012437393056436602013-06-26T12:15:47.001-05:002013-06-26T12:15:47.001-05:00Good on ya, DKSB!Good on ya, DKSB!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170635245541055839noreply@blogger.com
