Sometimes I'm asked "What's it like?" to be transgendered or, more specifically, a trans woman. The best answer I can give is that I can't answer the question, but I can tell you about MY experience.
In other words, there isn't one kind of trans woman, or trans person. Part of the reason I didn't start my transition earlier is that I didn't think I fit the profiles of trans women I carried in my mind. I thought I was too tall, to broad-boned or deep-voiced. Or I thought I wasn't, on the outside "feminine" or "pretty" (at least, as those terms are commonly defined) in our culture. Plus, I have always felt more attracted to women than to men.
Some graphic artist must have been thinking what I thought. Let us thank "Kyle"--that is the only name I could find--for this wonderful graphic:
