Approximately 30,000 to 40,000 postoperative transsexual
women live in the United States, and many thousands more are
now in the process of gender transition here. These numbers are
much larger than commonly assumed by the public because a veil
of invisibility hides the true nature and extent of the
transsexual
condition. Especially hidden are large numbers of highly successful
women who have fully transitioned. The reason is that most successful
women live in "stealth mode" or are "woodworked".
They leave their pasts behind and hide in plain sight in order
to avoid social stigmatization and get on with their new lives.
Their personal successes insure that they assimilate and blend
right into society.
-
- The invisibility of these successes supports notions that
gender transitions often have rather sad outcomes. At present,
the media only spotlights transsexual people on two occasions,
namely when "someone well-known changes sex" and when
someone is a victim of discrimination, harassment or attack.
Media stories about someone's "sex change" are never
followed-up to find out what happened years later. Instead stories
always focus on pre-transition life and struggles during transition
and never on their life afterwards. This lack of balance in exposure
shapes society's notion that transition leads to social marginalization
or worse, because we "never hear about them again".
Only stories of occasional social failures and victims of harassment
and attacks remain visible longer term.
-
- Lacking successful role models, and confronted with deliberately
staged, stereotypically-prurient images of "transsexuals"
from media like the Jerry Springer Show, young trans girls are
often terrified to tell anyone about their condition. Constantly
reminded of the violence and discrimination that trans people
face, but unaware that large numbers of successful women get
beyond such difficulties, many young transsexual girls can't
see any way out of their awful predicament. Social stigmatization
of transsexualism leads many young people to internalize a lot
of undeserved shame, embarrassment and guilt about their condition.
As a result, young transsexual girls often waste precious years
before they seek help, and many never find a way to correct their
gender condition.
-
- Recently the veil of invisibility has been lifting, as many
post-operative women all around the world have begun creating
websites to help others. Some of these women are quietly "out"
within the TS community. Others share their stories by being
"virtually out" (VO) only via the web (while otherwise
remaining woodworked or in stealth). We are very fortunate to
finally be able to learn about their lives, as they become listed
on webpages such as this one. Lynn hopes that more and more successful
women will quietly come out, and feel comfortable sharing their
stories this way via the web.
-
- The women listed on these pages are a very diverse group.
They are of many different nationalities, races and ethnicities.
They come from a wide range of social classes and family backgrounds.
They transitioned at many different ages. Some have been postop
a long time, others transitioned more recently. Some have been
"out" for many years, others are still living stealthily.
-
- Many of these women had to suffer terrible trials in order
to transition, especially those who did so years ago. Some rose
from extremely humble beginnings, including living on the streets,
and yet succeeded anyways. Others had easier transitions in more
recent times in the more enlightened western countries. A few
were even fortunate enough to have had the support of their parents
when they were young. As you'll see, this
webpage isn't meant to be an "honor roll" or whatever. Instead it is
meant to be place where these many diverse yet representative role
models can come forward and become more visible - role models who are
mostly accessible via the internet for interactions and help.
-
- The thing that makes these women "successes" isn't
how far they've gone in their careers, or how much money they've
made, or how pretty some of them are, or how well known some
are as entertainers. Those accomplishments are very meaningful,
and show that transitioning doesn't have to hold a woman back
from achieving traditional social measures of success. However,
the real successes we find here are ones of the heart. They are
successes in living "life in the large". We see it
in the happy faces, and sense it in between the lines of their
stories. These are the successes of women who have survived and
corrected their earlier transsexualism, and gone on to find joy
and comfort and peace in their lives.
-
- Taken together, our stories will gradually help change people's
views of the transsexual condition. After all, we are happy and
productive contributors in all walks of life: as doctors and
lawyers, as scientists, engineers and programmers, as airline
pilots, as entrepreneurs, managers and office workers, as university
professors and students, in politics, in education, in law enforcement,
in the skilled trades, in modeling and in entertainment. The
realities and completeness of our physical gender transformations
cannot be denied. Many of us are wives, lovers or partners in
long-term loving relationships. You can put a compelling human
face on the transsexual condition by browsing the websites linked
from these pages, which contain information about the experiences
of these successful women.
-
- Lynn hopes that these women's stories provide hope, encouragement
and role models to others, especially to those young transsexual girls-to-be
who are facing gender transition. As teenagers they (and their parents and
loved ones) need to learn that a complete correction of their
gender condition is now possible by applying the knowledge gained
by the pathfinders who have gone before, and by exploiting the
miracles of modern medicine. They also need to learn of the profound
advantages of undergoing gender correction while young, as opposed
to living in angst in the wrong gender for decades and then finally
transitioning, in desperation, late in life. If parents can just
learn to see that their transsexual child is really a "girl
with a physical problem" rather than a "boy with a
mental problem", then that child's future is especially
hopeful. With parental love and support, a young transsexual
girl can now reach for her dreams, and go on to live a full and
joyous life as a woman.

Some Ways to Use these Pages:
The main purpose of these pages is to provide role models
for individuals who are facing gender transition, especially
young TS girls who are often desperately fearful of what the
future might hold for them. This page is aimed at providing them
with hope and with a wide range of diverse role models to help
show them the way.
- Through these pages, young transitioners may also be able
to help their parents, relatives, friends and others important
in their lives to understand that undergoing a gender correction
does not mean living a marginalized life, and that they will
be fine afterwards. In spite of the difficulties involved in
such transitions, the stories on this page show that many postop
women go on to live very full and happy lives.
-
- The pages are also aimed at countering public stereotypes
of women who have undergone gender corrections. No one who reads
these pages and studies the many stories here can help but have
a very different image of such women than those traditionally
presented by the media or written about by "experts".
-
- Readers of these pages are strongly encouraged to proactively
use this material to help counter negative media stereotypes.
Whenever you read a media report that misrepresents transsexual
women, SEND the writer and publisher the URL for this page, and
ask them if they've ever seen this website. If they answer "no",
then ask them "Why not?" Ask them "Why are you
publishing things that so misrepresent TS women, when there is
so much counter-evidence to your views?"
-
- Readers should also CHALLENGE any and all "experts"
and "authority figures" in organized religion, in medicine,
in psychiatry, in bureaucracies, in corporate personnel departments,
in the legal system and in the political system in the same way.
Whenever you hear "experts" say erroneous things about
transsexual women, challenge those "experts" by insisting
that they learn about and study these pages.
-
- In the past, OTHERS HAVE ALWAYS SPOKEN FOR US. It's always
been others: physicians, psychiatrists, religious authority figures,
lawyers, "ethicists", politicians, gender counselors,
and in recent years gay, lesbian, and feminist activists. All
these outsider "experts" have spoken for us, each with
their own axe to grind and their own "expert theories"
and spins on who we are and why we are. For example, see the
following pages in my website concerning the controversy surrounding
a book by psychologist
J. Michael Bailey's which denigrates and
caricatures transsexual women:
Learn about the
Bailey book controversy (more)
In every case, such "experts" have known only a
tiny, totally non-representative sample of "trans"
women, if indeed they have known any at all. Few of these "experts"
have ever known a successful postop woman. Yet they always feel
free to speak "for us". They tell people how to think
about us, and spin endless bizarre theories about us.
- How have they gotten away with this misrepresentation? The
reason is simple: Our very successes have meant that we've been
almost "invisible" in the past. We've also failed by
not having the courage to challenge the abusive stereotyping
and misrepresentation of who we really are.
-
- Well folks, that era is over. We're no longer going to be
invisible, and we are increasingly going to "speak for ourselves".
-
- As it turns out, the most effective way we can "speak"
is by living very full, productive and happy lives. Our life
stories will then speak volumes, and will help publicly shatter
the old stereotypes posed by all those "experts". In
the end, who we are isn't a matter of "theory" or "opinion"
or "who dominates thought by shouting loudest". Instead
it is simply an empirical matter of observing our real lives
in the real world.
-
- You can greatly help in this process by making these "successes"
as publicly visible as you possibly can, especially among physicians,
psychiatrists, religious leaders, lawyers, politicians, gender
counselors, etc., and yes - also among gays, lesbians and feminists.
All these outsiders who've been speaking for us need a good lesson
in who we really are, and they especially need to know about
the now visible, undeniable reality of our successes.

Transitioners
-
- Emily Hobbie's Genderpeace website is also aimed at the young transitioner.
Emily's site can help young trans girls find peace, comfort, self-acceptance
and then happiness after "surviving transsexualism".
-
- Also be sure to read the wonderful on-line books
From
Within by Vicky, and
Mom,
I need to be a girl by Just Evelyn. Vicky is a young teenager who is now transitioning. In
From Within she
is conveying what it feels like to grow up as a girl in a boy's
body - revealing all the confusions, emotions and experiences
along the way from early childhood to, and through, gender transition.
Mom,
I need to be a girl is an inspiring book of a young TS girl's
transition, written by her mother (Just) Evelyn who fully supported her
gender transition.
-
-
-
An especially good way for a young TS girl to explain
to her parents what she is going through, and also how her gender condition
can be corrected, is to have her parents read
From Within
and
Mom,
I need to be a girl. These on-line books, combined with
Lynn's
TG/TS/IS
information webpages and this
TS
Successes Page, can also help young transitioners communicate
about their condition with their extended families, their classmates,
and their friends.
- It is very important for young people who are feeling some
degree of gender angst to realize that there are many options
available for resolving their condition. Depending upon the intensity
of their gender condition they may find really good solutions
in P/T crossdressing, or by transitioning hormonally and socially
into an androgynous condition while retaining a male identity,
or by undergoing a hormonal and social (TG) transition and taking
on a female identity without undergoing SRS.
-
- Only in cases of intense transsexualism is a complete TS
transition (including SRS) usually required if the girl is to
go on to a full and happy life. There are many transgender people
who do not have intensely transsexual feelings, and for them
SRS can be a big mistake (see
Lynn's "SRS Warning" page). Thus it is very important
that young transitioners carefully determine the right gender
trajectory for their own particular case. Only you will know
what's best. Listen to your own heart - it will tell you what
to do. And remember, there is no shame in establishing a transgender
identity and not having SRS. There are many who have chosen that
path and become successful too. If you study the many lists of
"T-girls" (CD's, DQ's, and TG transitioners) on the
web, you can gain insight into the possibilities for TG transitions.
-
- On the other hand, those who suffer from the intense TS condition
almost always know with certainty, even as teenagers, that they
need to be girls and that a TS transition is the only solution
that will work for them. It is for these girls that this page
is especially designed. The women in the page above are a testament
to the fact that complete TS transitions can now be very successful
for intensely TS girls who are highly motivated, who plan things
very carefully, who work hard to transition, and who move on
with a strong sense of self-acceptance into their lives as women
afterwards.

- *Important Note About FtM Transsexualism:
Since Lynn is a TS woman, MtF transsexualism is the main
focus of her webpages. However, not only are there many boys
who really should have been girls, but there are also many children
born as girls who really should have been boys. In fact, female
to male (FtM) transsexualism is almost as common as MtF transsexualism.
In recent years hormonal and surgical treatments have enabled
many TS men to transition very successfully, and there is now
extensive information about such transitions on the web.For information
on FtM transsexualism, see the websites for
FtM
International Website,
American
Boyz, and
FtM Resources & Links, and follow the many links at those
sites.

Deep Stealth Productions presented the
V-Day 2004 Worldwide Campaign
event for Los Angeles on Saturday, February 21st. In cooperation with the author, internationally-known
playwright Eve Ensler, and under the auspices of Jane
Fonda, this benefit performance featured the first ever transgender cast of "The Vagina
Monologues," and included a new monologue written by
Eve especially for this event.
This
large-scale, mainstream event was a historic opportunity
for the trans community to present ourselves in a positive, contributing
light. The performance showcased notable trans
women reading Eve's beautiful monologues about the experiences
of womanhood and the reclaiming of self through loving and respecting
our bodies. The event also featured artistic, literary
and musical contributions from trans women from around the country. Among the many women participating
were: Calpernia Addams,
Becky Allison, Marci Bowers,
Lynn
Conway, Andrea James,
Donna Rose,
Gwen
Smith,
Leslie
Townsend, and many, many more...The V-Day Los Angeles event was held
in Hollywood on Saturday evening, February 21, 2004 in the Silver
Screen Theater at the beautiful
Pacific
Design Center.
A
special
keepsake publication for V-Day LA 2004 was produced as a remembrance
of this wonderful event, and a documentary of the event, entitled "Beautiful
Daughters", can now be seen on
LOGOonline.. |

Acknowledgements:
-
Lynn gives her special thanks to "David",
Carla Antonelli and
Lorna Root for inspiring her to create these TS
Successes pages. David is the author of the orignal "Gallery
of Goddesses" website (now offline), which conveyed a wonderfully
positive image of transgendered and transsexual women from all
around the world. Lynn first learned about the stories of a number
of the successful postop women listed here from David's site.
That site has been down lately (and links to it from
Lynn's site don't work right now). Hopefully David's site will
be on-line again someday. Lynn then met
Carla Antonelli
on-line and learned of her LGBT support activities and her
Spanish language support
site featuring positive images of many trans women. Lynn
was also very moved by Lorna
Root's website "A Midsummer Night's Dream", which
features the stories and photos of many trans women. A number
of the entries here in the TS Successes pages are linked to stories
posted in Lorna's wonderful website.
There are a number
of other important websites that feature TG/TS women from all across the
transgender community, and these too have been sources of ideas and inspiration
for this page. Among these are Vicki Rene's "Prettiest
of the Pretty", "Fiona's
Fantasyland",
Susana
Marque's Directory, and URNotAlone.
We're also seeing
development of new sites that compile TG/TS women's stories, with each site
having its own special theme. For example,
my friend
Karen Serenity's site includes newly
compiled information about almost-forgotten trans pioneers, along with the
stories of friends in her extensive network (Gallery
1, 2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9,
10). Many of the larger transgender societies, such as the
Chicago Gender Society, have websites
that list photos and sometimes bios of key members (who are often very
approachable for help and mentoring). Circles of trans women in various
career fields are also now building sites where their stories can be shared for
mutual support and benefit. A good example of a career-field support-site
is "T-Cops" (Transgendered community of
police and sheriffs) . It would be wonderful if
more sites like T-Cops could be created for many other career fields and for affiliation-groups
in many other countries too. That way many more success stories could be shared
via all these sites and more
widespread mentoring could be done by women who have completed their transitions.
Our thanks and encouragement go out to everyone involved in building and
maintaining these new sites.
Finally, we all owe a great debt to the many women who've
volunteered to be listed here in these pages. We hope that all readers
will treat them with the kindness, respect and honor they truly
deserve. These women have earned their places in the world the
hard way. Only by reading their stories can you begin to understand
the trials, sacrifices and pain that most of them endured on
the way to their successful new lives. As time goes on, some
women listed here will want to move on in their lives and go
stealth, and thus will want to leave this list. At the same time,
others having interesting stories to share via the web will decide
they'd like to be listed for a while, and will be added to this
list. Please join Lynn in thanking all these wonderful, courageous
women for coming forward, telling their stories, and illuminating
the pathways for others to follow.
In
Memoriam
In April of 2003, a wonderful woman
named Sofia Iglesias volunteered to translate this "Successes page" into
Spanish, and we became good friends over the following year. Sofia went on to
translate even more pages into Spanish, doing this work to help young
transitioners in Mexico and all across the Americas. As others saw the results
of Sofia's work, volunteers began translating the pages into many other
languages too - and the translation
project rapidly escalated in scope and coverage. And then suddenly and
tragically Sofia died of a heart attack, in August 2004, at the early age of 46.
We were heartbroken by this terrible news, and to
this day we miss her very, very much.
Sofía
deeply touched many lives through her support work, and lives on in the memories
of those whom she helped. Then too, her spirit
continues to touch many lives through the translations that she left behind and
the translation project she
helped inspire - a project now making information about gender variance and
transsexualism available
to people all around the world. Sofia was a beautiful spirit, and she gave
much hope and inspiration to others while she was with us. To learn more about
her story, please read the
memorial to Sofia at this link.
