What does it feel like to be transgender?

This has been raised in our live Skype group - join us here http://media.transgenderzone.com/
But it is/was simply to good a topic to let lie.
So here we are.
Transgender people have described it in a number of ways and I personally find it fascinating.
Here are just a few:
1. It felt like being in prison but like the 'Truman Show' you never really understand what the outside world is like, until you escape!
2. It is like sitting in a railway station watching the world go by and not really feeling you are part of it - disassociation.
3. It felt like a knot in the gut that was so powerful it makes you feel ill, and you try everything possible to avoid feeling it, everything that is than face it full on and deal with it!
There are more but the rest I'll leave to you.
This perhaps is one of the most important threads I have ever started - please do engage with me and it :)x
