Maybe I'm the odd one here because I've never felt invisible. Even when I try, I don't seem to have that knack.

It took a few years after menopause to get used to the physical changes. I didn't feel like ME for a while. Then I said -- screw it all, this is who I am now and if someone has a problem with it, it's THEIR problem.

I've had my share of medical surgery and have no desire to go under the knife again unless absolutely necessary. If someone thinks less of me because I'm getting older and not jumping through hoops to hide it -- that just tells me what a shallow stupid person they are, and Do I care??

I'm not trying to be flippant about anyone else's problems. I just wish women weren't so beaten down by society's expectations.
