C'est le fin? (That's the End?) Transman VS ... nothing?

Hey all, long time no question from this guy.

So, anyone who know's my avatar around here knows that I'm the Canadian Transguy, and that I had my chest reconstruction back in October '09.

What you guys haven't heard yet is that this qualified me to have my birth certificate finalized. With all the proper information. Including my sex designation being male. As if it always was so. There is now no way to tell my birth sex (on paper anyways) was even slightly different than any other guys out there.

My question now, is what does this mean? Am I done? This is it?

I would have imagined, more.... fireworks? A parade? More of a fight? I dunno. I'm happy naturally, beyond words to finally be able to prove that I exist. But now I have a worry.

Am I just going to fade away into the cis world? Be one more dude out there that nobody looks at twice?

I'm happy and sad at the same time. I worked so hard for this, but now that I have it... I feel adrift. All that energy I used to use for getting to that next spot in my transition.... I can't think of anything that deserves that much attention in my life now.

Am I just being weird folks? Or is this one of those "we all get there" moments?

Love to all well thought out and respectful replies. Haters will be lol'ed at.

    Thats basically it, some trans friends I know have transition parties to celebrate their transitions, maybe you could have one. Join a LGBT club if you still want to be around transitioning people.

    First of all, congrats. ^_^

    The paperwork portion is done, but there's still challenges ahead. How we deal with change rooms, for instance. There's still the matter of trying to use urinals. Some issues will be cleared up in the short term, while others will take much longer to resolve.

    Outside of the trans world, there's always the challenges we face as being a gay couple together. So I think, from my entirely ignorant perspective, that your energy could still be put to good use and that the fight is not entirely over yet.

    hmm...well congratulation first off. You must be happy beyond belief :D

    Throw a party and celebrate, remember you're a unique individual and you got where you are because you're strong willed and courageous. You'll never fade away like that unless you want to because you know how hard you fought to be you, having fought that battle makes you still part of this community now and forever.

    Congrats again and best of luck in the future :)

    Fade into the cis world if that's what you think will make you happy. Be active within the trans community if that would make you happy.

    Me, I'm sort of afraid of being seen completely as a straight cis-dude. All of that privilege! I don't think I would be entirely happy seen as cis to the outside world.

    I guess it means you're done unless you want bottom surgery and to go "deep stealth."

    I would say that it is your finally accepted be the system and you have reached another goal, but it is only you that knows what done is (your goal is) now when you are there it will the momentous moment.

    but non the less enjoy each step as you take it, enjoy each confidence as you gain it, enjoy being yourself.

    as for fade away, i don't think so, it is time to grow as you are, be the man you always knew you were again friends in every part of your life and be happy.

    Some guys like to just fade away, but you don't have to. We transguys are kind of weird (In my opinion) because so many transguys don't want anything to do with one another and just want to disappear. I'd hoped for solidarity, but a lot of us want to just go off on our own.

    If you still want to be involved, why not get into activism?

    I know how you feel. When I told my friend that I was gay, she was like "Okay" like it was nothing. On the inside I was confused cuz it took a lot of courage to tell her that, and she just took it like it was nothing.

    So... maybe throw yourself a celebration of sorts? Go out and buy crap? Hang out with friends, throw a party? Do whatever feels best man. Finale es Finale. The end is the end, and that would be death, and you are nowhere near that. So just live life, be happy, make out with a random stranger.

    I reckon we all get there.

    And... .... sorry to be a grammar freak, but I have to correct your French.

    The word "fin" is feminine, therefore it's: "C'est la fin?", or, even better, "Est-ce que c'est la fin?", or "Est-il la fin?"
