A person whose manner of speaking has been set for some time past and who wishes to speak in a different way needs to develop greater flexibility of the vocal organs and the lungs, both in order to loosen the set way of speaking and to acquire the new way.

The first time I saw my forty-one-year-old daughter, Geraldine, she was being wheeled into a hospital room after major surgery. She was hooked up to intravenous tubes and was barely conscious.

For many transvestites and transsexuals one of the more challenging obstacles on the road to self-acceptance and healthy self expression is the emotion of guilt. More has been written about guilt than about any other emotion. Guilt forms the core of our culture’s Judaeo-Christian world view; it is the corner stone of every criminal judicial system and the shady side of every moral theory of duty and obligation; and it is the key to a great number of neurotic syndromes. Psychologists have given guilt considerable attention, and I cannot pretend to do this emotion justice in this brief article. Nevertheless, I can outline some of the characteristics of guilt and reflect upon this phenomenon as it may relate to transvestism and transsexuality.

Transsexual.
The medical term for this condition is ” Gender Dysphoria “. It is a condition which, despite all of the information and talk shows on it, is still very misunderstood.
