Hey all,
Cant seem to locate an introduce myself thread but mods if my glasses need updating please be sure to merge!

Anyway, my name is TJ and I was a previous boards user but under a different name. Why the change? Because I have quite recently told my (amazing mates) that I am transgender. I'll be around here lots and intending on starting a blog so i can look back and see how far I've come. And anybody embarking on this, scary but wonderful journey can read about my experiences.

Anyway, that's it!

hey TJ

best of luck to you in your transition

Azure_sky · 19-01-2011, 17:36

Welcome,

There's quite a few transsexuals on here these days, myself included. Look forward to reading from you.

wallplugsocket · 19-01-2011, 17:43

I've been in and out of here everyday since 2006, I'm just glad to be posting an posting as my real self!
There's many forums and chat rooms and websites out there, but knowing I could be as little as a few km's from anybody on here makes a difference in feeling the sense of community

**Itzy** · 19-01-2011, 17:51

A little like me, but I forget what gave me the nudge to start posting in the LGBT forum. You're in good company with a nice sizable trans community too.

wallplugsocket · 19-01-2011, 18:00

Yup I've been reading and re-reading all the trans questions threads etc, and got fed up with myself for not sticking my oar in. It's a long road that can only be made easier with like minded people

thanks for all the kind welcomes!
