-I'm Back Again- 12/16/12
Hey folks, I'm back again. :) I recently transferred and find myself at a minimum security facility in Chowchilla, California. It was a facility for women so it doesn't really resemble a prison (which is nice). I recently find myself on an "examine what you tolerate" thing. It's a difficult enough question on the streets, but, in a confined place like prison where there is little to no control of anything it's almost impossible. How much do we tolerate on a daily basis? How honest are we with our feelings with others? Partners, family, friends, co-workers. In here that kind of thing can be dangerous (sadly). I recently was forced to make a life altering decision. After arriving at this institution (C.D.C.R.) - California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation decided they want all transgenders in 1 of 9 prisons and this is not one of them. So do I get off the hormones to stay here with my partner of 7 years who I love with all my heart or do I continue the hormone treatment and lose the love of my life? Do the hormones make me? I have not been off them for almost a decade - of course, there was no question as to what I will do. The question now is how will not taking them affect me? Am I still a woman, am I still trans? Seems like all there are right now are questions with no answers.
Well, friends, that is what is going on in my life right now. If you have any insights let me know!
