Good to hear from you again…
What does one do?
If it is one’s true self… embrace it.
One can’t be happy trying to be someone one isn’t.
(that doesn’t mean one has to over-do it
)
If you want to talk… just mail me… I’m a good listener… ehm… reader…

Welcome back
I think it depends on the level of The Truth shown to you and how much of a shock it was. What can be said about truth that hasn’t been written or sung about? Not that I’m obsessed with lyrics
“The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off” ~ Gloria Steinem.
So are you pissed off about it? It is one of those unconfortable truths that you’d rather not face? The truth, as the saying goes, can be hard. But as HopeIsLost says, can you be happy being something you’re not? My own life would suggest no. You need to be you. To fight to be someone you’re not – regardless of any lable you could pick – is gonna be tough.
If you can, try to embrace who you are. I won’t lie to you and say it’ll be easy. But whatever you decide, good luck.

If you liked it, embrace it, if not then change.
That first bit doesn’t go for psychopathic murders!

I don’t believe that one can truly know the true self. Self exploration is a journey, not a destination. You will always find something there to make you question yourself. There will be times that come when you find something of yourself that your so sure about, but then later something will change your mind.
Self exploration is never easy, and it’s always a rough ride.

As it was said in “Buckaroo Banzai”: Character is what you are in the dark.

Hi, I just stumbled across your blog through a Google search. I must say, you are a cutie. I’m adding your blog to my feed reader.
I’m trans-gendered as well, although still deep in the closet, and living with the parents doesn’t make being myself easy, so I’m stuck living a lie.
They know about my troubles, but ignore and deny who I am. It didn’t help the fact that I was more androgynous than femme throughout childhood and veered away from things that were deemed socially unacceptable for boys.
I’m in college, and hope to transition someday, but my mother is a Student Services representative at my college, so it’s a little more difficult than it should be X_X
I hope to have time enough to read through your previous posts and get to know you better.

Becoming Someone Else
“What does one do when they find out their true character? Something they wern’t expecting”
Life’s like that. Just when you think you have yourself defined, something else pops up. Especially if you’re open to new experiences (as, by definition, most TG people are).
Some people have a ‘mercurial’ nature to them, always changing. Or should that be evolving?
Your ‘true character’ is the combination of all your experiences and all the various parts of you that you discover along the way. Nothing is lost. Everything has it’s role to play.

Becoming Someone Else
(Further to my previous comment …)
When I was sixteen I was 90% male, 10% female. Over the years my female side has become more ‘me’ to the extent that it would be a relief to live permanently as female. Yet my male side surprises me when I don’t expect it.
The reality is that I’m both male and female. And, fortunately, the concept of androgyny gives me a context in which to explore that.

I think what you do after you find your true character… is the most important part. Whether you decide to embrace it or ignore the truth depends on your mental state and if you are willing to accept who you really are.
