It's attention seeking behavior just like bragging, rooted in your low self-esteem. Forget about being a tranny and your sexual identity, why don't you work on loving yourself?

Imagine if your body somehow turned male? How would you feel?

When painful problems are in your life, you have options:

  1. Solve the problem
  2. Change how you feel
  3. Accept the problem
  4. Stay miserable

I'll share with you one of the few useful concepts I learned about in rehab. It's called radical acceptance. Here are the 10 steps out of your misery:

  1. Observe that you are questioning or fighting reality ("It shouldn't be this way")

  2. Remind yourself that the unpleasant reality is just as it is and cannot be changed ("This is what happened")

  3. Remind yourself that there are causes for the reality ("This is how things happened")

  4. Practice accepting with your whole self - accepting self talk, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, imagery

  5. List all of the behaviors you would engage in if you did accept the facts and then engage in those behaviors as if you did accept the facts

  6. Imagine, in your mind's eye, believing what you do not want to accept and rehearse in your mind what you would do if you accepted what seems unacceptable.

  7. Attend to body sensations as you think about what you need to accept

  8. Allow disappointment, sadness or grief to arise within you

  9. Acknowledge that life can be worth living even when there is pain

  10. Make a list of pros and cons if you find yourself resisting practicing acceptance.

This is part of DBT, dialectical behavior therapy. I suggest you look into it.

I'm just curious, Miss Melody, did you manage to stay off drinking and how long have you been sober now?

I don't know you and you probably think I'm pretty strange, but I just wanted to say congratulations and that I'm really proud of you for making such an effort.

I don't know the extent of your problem that you have because no two people with your problem are The same, but you'll never go wrong by quitting.

If I never talk to you again I never chat with you again that's fine, you stay strong and do the right thing.

And don't take any wooden nickels.

Thank you, Edward.
