I guess it's because I live in this country. All the things that you have done, can't be done "just like that" here in Chile. People here are just mean pricks.<br/><br/>I think your doing everything good. The most important thing is that you have someone who loves you the way you are.<br/><br/><br/>:)<br/><br/>Go Man.<br/><br/>Good luck! Hey Jess, What’s up?

I just read Queer Butch Dyke and let me tell you that I found it very interesting (With all due respect).
Would it be o.k for me to say that I admire you?

I find all of this soo damn brave. I guess it’s because I live in this country. All the things that you have done, can’t be done “just like that” here in Chile. People here are just mean pricks.

I think your doing everything good. The most important thing is that you have someone who loves you the way you are.

:)

Go Man.

Good luck!

As for the breasts, I'm with you. I'd have mine removed if I could. They are totally useless.<br/>Good for you for putting this out there. Maybe Tina and Packie should do a pod cast on that subject.

My big insight after the surgury was: Never go to a doctor that specializes in Porn Stars for a breast reduction! (I know... its a long story) Also, when I gain weight, guess where it goes? I went into discuss the situation with my current doctor and was told the only way to get the insurance company to do another reduction which is elective surgury was to quit smoking and get close to my ideal weight! I was like, "Yeah, right!" <br/><br/>Anyway, as far as gender identity, I feel more like a gay guy most of the time. I don't even think there is a name for that identity so I guess I will just have to be me! Really interesting blog topic.<br/>Peace,<br/>Diva Jess,

It's not exactly the easiest thing to muster up the courage to do in the first place, and then when it doesn't turn out to be what you wanted, it must be extremely disappointing. I'd say the sooner you can take care of that self requirement, the better. First of all, good luck.

Secondly, I’m a queer butch dyke too – yay for us!

Fresh tomatoes are the best, aren't they? I read your recent post on TLL and just have been too busy to comment, but I applaud your honesty about being true to who you are. I think, ultimately, that is what we are all trying to do. Be WHO WE ARE, whether it's gay, straight, butch, femme, queer, dyke, whatever. When you go through your life and your stomach doesn't tie up in knots just because you're alive, then you know you're doing something right.<br/><br/>Just a thought--if breast cancer runs in your family, you might be able to have what is called a "prophylactic mastectomy" to remove the breasts. I've heard of women doing it, because if you don't have breasts, you can't get breast cancer. I know it's a lot to think about.<br/><br/>Hang in there. You are very brave!<br/><br/>GG Hey, Jess, thanks for the comment on the garden. Fresh tomatoes are the best, aren’t they?
