It is with great sadness that I report that Gender Odyssey 2010 has been canceled. The good news is that the producers are working on an exciting project to bring a year-round health and wellness program to the Trans community. This saddens me greatly because Gender Odyssey has a big place in my heart. It was Gender Odyssey 2007 that I discovered that I was Trans. It was a pretty intense time as my wife and I grappled with what this meant to our relationship. Believe it or not, it was just as difficult for me to come out to my transgender wife as I imagine it is coming out to any spouse. My wife had to deal with guilt for not being totally supportive because she was just as angry and hurt as anyone would be. I told her that there's no need to feel guilty because I did change the rules after 12 years of being together. Now, I could not ask for a better supporter. Breanna is not only the Love of my Life but she is also my best friend. While I did not actively begin my transition until January 2008, The discovery of my identity will always be linked to GO.

In 2008 and 2009, I was a madman trying to be everyplace at once as I immersed myself in workshops and tabling. I happily complained that I needed clones to attend all the workshops that I wanted. I always take GO weekend off as this is my time to reward myself for another year of work with Ingersoll. So now I shall plan for 2011 and await this new initiative from Gender Odyssey.

I Am a Post op female,

I have been to Ingersoll many times, how ever , I have been not there for a long long time. I am very sorry for that. I hope to come again soon. I am married and have been since 1995. Also my brother lives here and he is a active cross dresser, and feels his femine side much.


I still do have issues, mostly I can not tell the world I have mellded into my true history, much because they only know me as  who i am.


The world I am mixed into is almost all conservitive, thus i think if they ever knew my last identity , I would be unemployed.  I feel tied for that, I love all people and I feel we all belong here on earth, but the world I am in is one of conditions, this is not simple for any of us, and I would love to be 100% open with all I am with but , the world is not there yet. My inlaw family is awsome, and my blood line is awsome. My support line is big,I wish i could make all of your worlds as happy as mine. And yet I still have the issue of not being 100% open to the working world. So I do still have issues, Just further advanced.  I hope to see all of you soon.   love you all , Pearlikens.
