Hi! Yes I picked the post name Skittles because...? Well just for fun. Like me! I came by last night and I was a wall flower for a while. I did see what looked like interesting people like me, in my same age peer group. I then thought I would join the dance and hope I don't step on any toes. I will let you lead and sorry if I am a little clumsy getting into step. I read all the do's and don't pages and I think I can handle all that. Learning to navigate here is still tricky, like driving a stick shift rental car on the first day, trying to adjust the mirrors and put my lip gloss on. I won't crunch the fenders I promise! So any way, what about me???
Well I started my journey about six years ago, on the path I knew I was really on from age four. I just didn't know how to get here from there. I am full time Female, a Single Mother and I am legally me in all respects. We won't talk about "Him", he is not important anyway. He passed away, well more like faded away. I stand alone now and that's a good thing. I am a strong and worthy Woman.
I am two and a half years HRT. That is the most amazing drugs in the world! In fact the only meds I take anymore. They are all that's needed anyway. Oh sure, I have other goals for my new girl body, but heck I have to get through puberty first. I have also had to adjust to being a Lady and growing into Womanhood. I can't complain, I love pretty dresses and great challenges. Through the years I have read the main pages and articles at Susan's. They were like my Bible. I was way too scared back in the day to try the Forums, but today is my new day.
I look forward to meeting all of you, communicating, sharing smiles and hugs. I hope I am a good fit here too. Handshakes before hugs.
Joann
