Let me put my stamp of approval on what you fellows have said in the last few posts. I quite agree and I think that AnitaC. is one terrific gal. Things seem to have turned out for the best for everyone involved. A big Hip, Hip, Hurrah all around. Cheers---

It's fall now & school has began.

I know a number of you are wondering just what's been happening with Seannie...

Seannie went through a peroid of self-examination and consulted with the therapist regarding just where Seannie was, where he is & where this all is going.

Currently Seannie is of the opinion that he is transgendered and the therapist agrees. Seannie wants to proceed slowly and is still dressing on the weekends. Seannie is studying as much as possible on the CD/TG/TV issue and is trying to assess where he believes he really is regarding this.

His parents are finalizing their divorce and this considered, are doing their level best in this very complex situation. When we all met in September, we sat down and were of the opinion that Seannie would be better off here than back home. He is comfortable & stable here and a move could be unsettling. This is not what Seannie needs right now.

We also met with Seannies' high school counselers and told all. They were very considerate and were ok with the decission. Their only concerns being about the actions of the other kids. Seannie agreed that transitioning at school would not be the best for all concerned. They were put at ease when we said Seannie would continue to attend school as a boy.

Last Saturday Samantha asked Seannie if there was surgery in the future. Seannie rolled her eyes and said "I've thought about it and right now I don't really know what I want to do next week, let alone the rest of my life! I really think I'll put that off my decission untill after graduation.". Samantha smiled & looked at me "Smart kid!". I couldn't agree more.

Seannie is not on hormones, plays his keyboard, still runs around with the guys and has friends in both worlds knowing that right now this the best it can be.

I asked the obvious question recently "What if it gets out that you wear girls clothes on the weekend?". "I'll deal with it as best as I can when & if that happens. Untill that time I'm going to be very careful.".

We took a trip to Miami recently and he visited with a surgeon who has performed many SRS operations. They talked for hours and the good Doctor was impressed with Seannies' whole outlook regarding his situation. The Doctor told Seannie "you had better be damn sure about this 'cuz once I whack 'em off, I can't sew 'em back on!". They email each other & are keeping in touch.

Seannie deals with each day as it comes.

As do his parents and I.

"Yesterday's past & tomorrow isn't here yet. We have to make the best of the now.".

Namaste',

Anita C.:-)

Thanks very much on the up-date on Seannie as I have been thinking about him/her from time to time and felt that you would reply to us all when and if you felt it neccessary. It appears that Seannie has been, and is, in good hands at this point and seems to be handling his/her situation as well as someone far older than he/her. Please keep us all posted from time to time on his/her progress. Cheers---

The jury's in. After pondering this for quite sometime, Seannie is going to start living as a woman on a full time basis.

After a long discussion where we, her parents, counselors (School & private), Samantha, myself & 4 close friends all sat down with Seannie & agreed upon some rules, we are moving foreward.

One of the rules is that we refer to Seannie as "HER" & "SHE" from now on.

Her parents are as supportive as they can be. They're real glad she's doing it here rather thanback where they are! Her counselor believes that it's time & Samantha & I are supportive. His school is not crazy about it but after a meeting with myself, them & the ACLU they will allow it. Everybody at the school pretty much knows at her school, she's proceeding with caution.

So HERE WE GO!

I'll keep you all posted.

Namaste',
Anita C.

This post is for yourself, Anita, Samantha, and particularly Seannie. I will be honored from here on in to refer to Seannie as "SHE" and "HER". As you know, I have aways had a soft spot in my heart for Seannie and her welfare. Please tell her that I wish her all of the luck in the world and congratulations for her decision and it appears that the correct choice has been made, thanks to her counselors and all that have come to her aid. It appears that her future is as bright as it could be. Please keep us posted on her progress in the future as I, for one, am on her side 100%. Cheers---
