  Spending time with Marsha Ann during her SRS has been a lot of fun and quite interesting. It also has taught me more about where I am, psychologically. There are no fantasies here; only reality. It is much like my first time assisting with a delivery in Obstetrics, but far more personal. Definitely emotional. It was interesting to find that it was not at all disturbing, for me, to contemplate the irreversible changes that were occurring. After all, the old parts just do not hold so much importance any more. Their only meaning is functional, not emotional or self-identifying. As I told another friend, if I woke up with the male parts missing it would not be that upsetting. Neither would waking up and finding I had had SRS. I guess that is a result of personal identity. Once I could accept what I truly was (two-spirit), identity was no longer dependent on physicality. As most of us have realized on some level, gender is not about the physical. The physical often belies who we are, belies our true identity.
  Marsha, I am grateful for the priviledge of being allowed to spend this personally significant time with you.
