Hello from the far reaches of Canada,
Good Morning everyone, I hope things are going well. I am Rei, though I often go by Thea. I'm a Nova Scotia person (though I am actually from Florida originally) of Spanish Gypsy decent. I've actually only started pursuing becoming a proper girl after a bit of a crack at University, though I knew I was since I was about 14. Of course when I was 14 I had the foolish notion to actually mention it to someone in the intolerant state of Mississippi. That got me into a lot of fights. Ended up having to biff someone in the head with a rock in self-defense (Glad to report that other then a few cuts everyone was quite alright). I figured that could have been handled better and decided to study fighting and to learn to keep my mouth closed.
Time passed and now I am a spry twenty something and this gender identity issue seriously started effecting both my concentration and my energy level. This was remedied to a decent degree by having two people actually accept me as I was. My current Boyfriend (though him not yet being very physically attracted to me yet is tortuously frustrating. He's sweet, but very cis gender by nature.) and a mutual friend. Though our second accepter is a dubious character, it is still a nice gesture. Still working on telling the single parental. I got her to stop being Catholic, and actually worked her over to becoming Athiest. However, long held morals are long held and there is a lot of unpacking to do there.
Well, time to cut myself off before I come off super long winded.
Cheers,
Aleph
