Dear Janus, Earth Angel:

You are very welcome and thank you for your kind words!

Your career class reads like an excellent class, the professor doing a good job and so do you, doing a good job in it as a student.

You expressed long, long ago your frustrations regarding societal expectations of you. And in your most recent post, you articulated it so well: “Those boxes were not right for me and I became callused and bruised trying to fit myself into something I am not”.

Keep your mind open to possibly change your life plans- that is a healthy attitude for anyone your age. What is clear is that you care a lot  about helping the transgender community. There is more than one way of doing that. Besides genetic engineering possibly being helpful in the future, there is your ability to write and imagine- you combine the two very well and have done so for years on this very thread. Your ability to dream, to imagine and to communicate your elaborate imagining is very well done and you have practice in it. I can imagine you being an inspirational writer, your readers being young transgenders, teenagers and young adults experiencing gender dysphoria.

I know you wrote before, I think it was a blog. You shared those writings here. I thought at the time that those writings were too long. I am not an expert of published writings, but I think with editing your own writing, eliminating repetitions, can be a powerful way for you to help others.

I figure: you value helping others who struggle like you do, and you will find a way!
