This site
is about one Transsexual's journey into womanhood.
It contains no
pornography or inappropriate photography, but
rather my
thoughts and feelings as I have made this journey.
Please feel free
to wonder through the pages of my web, and
leave me a
comment if you like

Lost in Transition has been
online for just over three years.
A small but constant web
presence, who's main goal was to track my transition.
A Transition that has
stalled because I cannot afford to continue.
Medical bills unrelated to
transition have taken their toll on my dreams. Chemotherapy takes
over $1,000 per session out of pocket after insurance. Lab work,
pneumonia and regular follow ups all add to this, putting the dream
farther and farther out of reach.
So I stay an in-between. A
freak that nature won't help. People wonder why so many
Transsexuals suffer depression while transitioning.

Through the years I have
had three basic types of visitors.
The first are the "Oops,
how did I get here" hits, who searched for something unrelated to
Transgender issues, and got results that may include some content on my
site. They enter, then leave right away. These account for only a small
percentage of traffic, about 4%
Then there are those who
actually want to come here. these are divided into 2 groups.
 |
The first being friends or
Family looking to find out what's new in my transformation
|
|
|
The rest are those
who have searched online for information about Transexualism.
|
(Of these about 37 percent are looking for pictures, more often than
not,
looking to satisfy some sort of sexual perversion, and leave
disappointed after
not finding hot she-males they can self gratify to.)
|
|
The remaining 63 percent,
are looking for information on transitioning. Some, hoping to find a way
to start their own journey, some just looking for information to help
them understand this condition for themselves or for a loved one.

A few words of caution
In today's world of convenience, the World Wide Web has made access to everything a simple mouse click away. Thousands of transgender men
and women now have access to all of the information they need to diagnose, prescribe, purchase and medicate themselves without leaving their keyboard.
Internet pharmacies are raking in millions of dollars selling sub-standard and often dangerous drugs to anyone with a credit card or bank account. No prescription required!!!
Transitioning from one gender to the other is a process that requires close monitoring by qualified medical personnel. The US and most other nations have procedures in place for these situations for a reason. Granted they are not perfect, but they are there
for the safety and well being of those of us that have been professionally diagnosed with Gender Identity Dysphoria, and are available to those who believe they may be.
I would assume that none of you would perform your own kidney transplant, or perform surgery to repair a cleft palate.
If you are one of the thousands of people that are self medicating, and taking estrogen without a prescription, I urge you to seek medical guidance as soon as you possibly can.
Being Transgender is NOTHING to be ashamed of. It is a legitimate condition and should be treated as such.
Even under the watchful eyes of Doctors and an Endocrinologist, complications can and do arise, but with proper care can be overcome in most circumstances.
If you absolutely must do this on your own, before starting any medication, learn everything you can about possible side affects, complications and their signs or symptoms. Prepare a plan on what to do for each situation. Tell someone, even if just a close
friend what you are taking and the danger signs to watch for.
If you are serious about transitioning, TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!.
Don't think it can't happen to you. Strokes can happen to anyone. Blood clots that develop in your leg can work their way up to your lungs, heart or even your brain. Leaving you crippled, Mentally impaired, paralyzed or dead.
Most of us want to be around a while after transition to live the full lives we missed while in the wrong gender role.
