Im not from Thailand, but i'll try and answer most of your questions anyway. Form A: 1. I never "wanted" to be a girl. I've always wanted the body of a girl, and to be able to live my life as a female. But how could i want to be a girl if i feel i already am one inside? 2. My earliest childhood memories are probably from about 4/5 years old. And from that age i felt i was a girl, so that's my answer. 3. I dont quite understand that question. What happened to make me feel like i was a girl? I dont believe anything made me want to be a girl. Seeing as ive never felt i was male, i cant really answer that question properly. I believe i was born with a female mind. 4. I dont know, i think i must have been about 17 or 18 when i first heard the term "transexual". 5. I have no friends, and my family dont support me at all. 6. Yes. Why? Seeing yourself as the total opposite of what everybody else sees you as would be enough to give anyone mental problems of some sort, id have thought. 7. Depression. Which has gradually got worse as ive got older 8. Yes, i take hormones 9. Like any other surgery, there is risks involved with it. I would have it without a second thought if i could afford it though. For me, any risks involved would be well worth me taking. 10. Genitals without doubt. I absolutely loath them, i always have. 11. No, ive never had any surgery to do with my "condition" 15. Hard? For me, it's impossible. Ive never experienced love, and most likely never will. 16. Yes. 17. Mainly just weird looks, and occassional "funny" remarks. 20. Nothing me or anyone else could could say would help to change the minds of truly bigoted people. I would just say to people that it is not a choice (at least for me), and i was born like this. Whether people choose to believe that or not is entirely up to them. Form C: 1. No. Ive never known or met any other transexuals. 2. I dont hate transexuals, but i hate being a 'transexual'. (I also hate that word. I just see myself as a female that was unlucky enough to be born with a hideous birth defect.) I just wish id been born with the bits i should have had in the first place. Or at least been given a male brain to match the body i was given. 3. Although i think the media is a bit more sympathetic towards transexuals now compared to a few years ago, in the main i still think transexuals are usually treated as objects of ridicule in most mainstream media. 4. I cant answer that, as it is a completely different culture to what i know. 5. The society where i live? At a wild guess, id say about 5%. Society as a whole? Probably about 15%. And that's me being positive about it. Sorry i couldn't answer all your questions, but hopefully ive been some help to you.
