Erik has been an inpiration for me since the news of his transformation. I am a f-m transexxual myself and although Erik was innersexed and I was not does not change the fact that he is a mentor. I transitioned myself in 1979 and am now a fat,balding older man in my 50's but very much settled into my skin as a man. I plan to grow old gracefully and thank God everyday that I was born into an era that made it possible for me to transition.
