for men writing me for love.. How can I say to you that " I AM LESBIAN, LESBIAN, LESBIAN, LESBIAN????"

My name is Mirella Izzo, honorary president of Crisalide Azionetrans onlus, living in Genoa, Italy.
... That is something about the "what I am"... But WHO am I?
It' so simple : born as a male I transitioned to woman. So I'm a Transgendered .
I've always loved femininity... Not the conventional one, not the stereotypical one.
Femininity is not a definition to me. It's something I can smell, hear, touch, feel.
So.. it's so simple : I am transgendered and lesbian. Better: Translesbian
Then I've lived a part of my life like a "spy agent" as a man among men. So I've known very well what maschilism is since my first days of life.
I've been educated as a boy and I grew as a man.
My skin has been literaly penetrated by forcing to be masculine, aggressive, dominating.
Disgusting poison flowed in my veins: a poison named testosteron.
A poison capable to fight hardly against my spirit, forcing me to ejaculate, to be submitted to my "dick". How me and my feminine brain could survive for years under testosteron influence? Yeah, I could. I did it like a tiger without teeths, like a flower in a desert, like Twin Towers with two airplanes in their womb, like a woman with a beard.
But I know very well what men are when they are in a masculine community. I breathed maschilism in any kind of form. A toxic breathe.
So... it's so simple : I am transgendered, lesbian and feminist. Better: Translesbian & Transfeminist.
Better again: Translesbianfeminist
Why translesbian and transfeminist and not a simply lesbian and feminist?
Becouse there is a specificity in being a transgendered woman: we are women with the memory of a "past life" of man. I cannot delete it, I don't want to delete this memory.
It is my strenght, my specificity to donate to the world.
It is my key to help genetic women to understand their original gender when is polluted by a maschilist society that force any woman to be competitive in a maschilist culture.
My key to help genetic lesbian to understand that the answer to the the men's feminine model it is not imitating men in habits and dresses. And that any woman can be lesbian or/and feminist in any kind of dress.. even in a high heels.
Becouse to me a woman is something you can only breath, not understand. And to be lesbian is a doubled breath... not a life in apnea.
So friends, I am Mirella Izzo, transgender, translesbian, transfeminist. In two words: I am a " Transgender Warrior"
Love
Mirella
