I bet she feels empowered, having gone through that transition and fought off the criticism that would have come with it, but also embraced the praise she undoubtedly got from some people. I used to think people like that were attention seeking nitwits, but to be honest we are all the same; we all want our voice to be heard by the world in some way. I'll look back at my conservative life and probably think "I wore trousers and a jumper every day, and sat in an office". I bet she will look back on her life with more enthusiasm.

What an excellent summing up of things.

I would rather look like the OP's photo than some "conventional" alternatives...

The male nurse who looked after my mum in her final days had a shaved head and was covered in tattoos, he looked a real thug, In reality a kinder , more caring man you could not ask to meet. He was a true gentle man and a credit to his profession.

Well put, I reckon you speak for a lot of us.

It's rare that I read something that - in an instant - makes me look at a thing in a different way but that just did ! Well done @Electric_Andy, very nicely put

My partners nephew does not look much different to this woman. Rings, facial tatoos, huge holes in his ears. He is in an accounts department. Has a huge house on a lake and more money than I could ever spend. You cannot judge on what people look like.

He has a huge floating house?
