My Identity

I have been reading the interview with Yishay Garbasz.  http://www.prettyqueer.com/2013/03/03/interview-with-yishay-garbasz/

We are roughly the same age, both trans and both jewish.  Although I am from New Zealand and student and she is a Berlin-based British-Israeli artist.

But there was something she said that about identity that got me thinking.  I have been told that as someone who has had srs I am considered post transition.  As if surgery is the be all and end all of being trans.

But I do not.  I will forever be a transperson.  When they discover that I am a trans person, that is all they see.
