RE: What do you do if you are transexual and unable to pass?

I've seen trans girls that don't pass for female, at all, and it's sad, I mean I get they are female on the inside or whatever, but sometimes you'd be better off just sticking with what you got.

I am a transsexual woman and totally agree with Luke. Unfortunately hormones and anti-androgens don't work on 99.9% of transsexuals. I spent the best part of 14 years trying different medications without success. It is very rare to see a transsexual women who passes and more information should be provided before people undertake transition. There are so many misleading journels and articles written by so called experts which glosses over the real truth about the limitations of these drugs. It doesn't relate to age either (unless your 14 years old when you start your transition). I have had to learn the hard way and worked on this for many years. Am I about to throw in the towel? quite possibly. I wanted a transition from male to female not a transition to another variant of a male. For me it's not good enough to live this way. Some don't seem to care if they get read now and again but for me it's a killer blow and undermines the whole process of the definition of a transition.
