 "The
thought of his being treated as a female for almost
the first thirty years of his life boggles my mind.
I cannot conceive of it. I wonder he survived those
years, although I can understand the unhappiness,
anger, loneliness, alienation and frustration he
suffered without knowing its cause." —
Betty, 2004
"...it's
usually the thing that you're most ashamed of, the
weakest part of you, the poorest part, which is
where you'll find your power and where you'll find
your ability to serve others. Which is where you'll
find your joy." — Rachael Wallbank,
2003
"...my
husband has transsexualism. To be perfectly honest
I forget this a lot of the time, I rarely think
about it now, in the same way that I rarely stop to
notice his hazel eyes anymore (though he has very
nice eyes)." — Liz, 2003
"Mark
has seen this world from a perspective that only a
gifted minority have, and for me to be able to
share a life with a man such as Mark is beyond
words." — Julie, 2003
"Transition
is ultimately a positive experience. It enables the
person you love to be truly happy, (or at least
happier than they were!). In the end, they will
seem more like themselves than ever before." —
Alison, 2003
"Hormones
may go some way to modifying your body… the
rest will take your time and effort. Your
relationship with yourself, your strength and
courage, your honour and your capacity for joy and
happiness are all part of being a man too." —
Vikki Sinnott,
2002
"I
believe any transsexual is a courageous, strong and
amazing being for living their life as they do and
defying the ignorance and discrimination of our
world. It is people like you who entrust a sense of
hope for the future, for our children and theirs."
— Annette, 2001

"People
with transsexualism usually recognise their true
selves from a very young age. They may try to
explain their feelings but seldom are they heeded.
People sometimes grow angry or dismiss the feelings
as a phase which will pass. But transsexualism is
for life and those with the condition cannot alter
their conviction. People who experience
transsexualism deserve acceptance and support along
the road they have been compelled by Nature to
travel." — Betty, 2003
"My
partner and I have been together for approximately
six and a half years now and within this
relationship I am still continually inspired and
challenged to revisit and question my beliefs and
ideas about the world within which we live." —
Michael, 2002
"The
best part about the transition is that Jamie is
following his heart, despite the hurdles that he
faced with, he has found strength in his adversity.
What more could I ask for in a partner?" —
Lisa, 2002
"Before
meeting my first female-to-male transsexual all
kinds of ideas were running through my head. For
some reason I expected the patients to be very
unusual. I was surprised to find them pleasant to
talk to, highly motivated, of normal intelligence
and well presented - quite a contrast to the
anecdotal stories I had heard. " — Dr
Huntersmith, 2002
