Subversive Number 6 - Letters to the Editor

Did you ever have a time where almost every other thought was about transition, even when you should've been think about something else? In my case even to the point of trying to figure out how to phrase this question. (Mainly rhetorical by the way).
Love, Marsha

Of course! From the moment I first considered transition seriously, it occupied ALL my thoughts until just about 6 months after surgery!!! Now, its down to about 50% of my time and slowly dropping. I hope that by the time I'm two years past surgery, I will find I hardly ever think about it, but all together, that will make it about a seven year phase!

My reply to a contributor who was amazed that I had asked if I could publish her letter as an article in The Subversive:

"I do, indeed, feel your letter has a lot to offer the readers. Its an interesting phenomenon that the most ordinary and mundane experiences, well spoken, seem to be the most intriguing to those who have only dreamed, but never done. The headlines are filled with the flashy and the bizarre, but the day to day petty frustrations and triumphs of the individual as every(wo)man go unwritten. The Subversive is not about the esoteric accomplishments of some fortunate elite, but rather seeks to find the common ground we each must tread and sometimes claim for our own. Thank you for sharing of yourself - truly, the most honest gift any of us can offer."

That though goes out to all our readers - share your journey: it is as special as you are!
