I’m terribly sorry to hear about your teenage trials Amylou. I understand how hard that must have been for you to cope with. Prehaps it is pity that causes my angst, I never had hairyness nor male attributes in fact...acne is popular within teenagers in my family...however i never have had any thing more then 2 spots on my face at a time. People please treat ravers with a little more understanding and delete your preconcived notions based upon rumors from the lips of the ignorant. All I am trying to state is that I am frusterated with my physical state of being....well more so just the genitalia. I realise my feminine shell has granted me a clever disguise... but I do not like having what defines somebody so much taken away from me....however i did have the surgery and managed to have sex with a male (yes I do like boys) however i am just a bit sore. But my doctor said the surgery went beautifully . My surgery happened 2 weeks ago and I have felt little to no discomfort.  Carrie, I do not need psycho inhancement drugs to induce happiness into my body as you eariler suggested. I unlike you belive in natural recovery, not clogging my blood with chemicals unnessasary to my medical issues at hand.  Pills bring forth a forced inducement from the dopimine section of your brain and it is a pathetic attempt to acheive normal status and be happy with stupid things like bunnys and children. Please woman, learn to deal without running to your pharmasist with withdrawl symptoms everytime you run out of paxil, i belive it was? Anyways... enough of my self righteous ranting :) You people are great, except some of you are sickening with your attempts of comfort but never the less, trying. Good day :)
