Private McAuslan

Hi everyone.

I'm a person in my early 30s, located in the UK. Have been lurking for quite a while, and have now been brave enough to finally post.

I'm female-bodied, and living as a woman, but have always been a butch/MoC person. After a long time of consideration, I'm confident I'm not a trans man (despite being pretty chuffed when I pass for male), but have been considering that it's possible I might fall somewhere in the non-binary and genderqueer area.

I'm very fortunate in that I have a brilliant SO, and she is completely understanding of this gender self-querying. Am currently attempting IRL to summon up the courage to socially and legally change my [unmistakably feminine] first name to Alex. (My goodness, there are a lot of Alexes on here, aren't there? I apologise for my lack of originality in this area, but will raise a glass to them all for their evidently excellent taste in nomenclature. ;D)

Disclaimer re: screen-name - I am not, and have never been, a serving member of HM Forces. Neither am I even 1% Scots. I am merely an enthusiastic fan of certain works of George MacDonald Fraser, and, as a decidedly scruffy individual, bear more than a passing resemblance to the character.  ::)

Alex,
Welcome to Susan's place. It's always nice to meet somebody that is NB Feel free to ask any questions you need to ask as everybody here is willing to help. Don't apologize for your name. I like it very much and sometimes it's good to have a common name. If you have a name that is different. It can draw attention to you. Best of luck to you on your journey.

Hugs,

Melissa Ann
