Hi Melanie,
Thanks so much for taking the time
to respond to my e-mail! I'm sure you must be very busy and probably
get a lot of these "I saw your web page and ..." messages.
I kept checking my e-mail each day to see if I had a response from
you, somewhat like the kid who has sent away for the magic decoder
ring ("Only takes 3 Wheaties box tops ...") and keeps
checking to see if the mailman has brought it.
I have been strangely fascinated
with the transsexual transition process for many years and read all
I could about it in the Pasadena library. When I got a home computer
and Internet access a few years ago, I discovered the T* Internet
newsgroups and met and corresponded with a couple of pre-op TS
through them. However, you are the first post-op TS I've met.
After I wrote my initial message I
found you had posted the rest of your diaries
on your web pages. So I will read those so that I don't bother you
with questions that you've already answered. I do hope that you'll
entertain a few other questions from time to time about your
experiences and feelings that may not be addressed in your diaries.
Thanks for posting these web
pages. I think that's a great service to the transgendered
community. I also think it's really neat that you posted your
picture so that people can see what you really look like (You have a
very pretty face) and posted the audio clip (You also have a lovely
voice). If someone just looked at your picture and listened to your
voice, they'd never know that you weren't born Melanie.
Hugs,
Bill
