Mariah,

Congrats. At times you and some other members make it all look so easy. I know it isn't always. You have helped me in my slow progress a number of times. Sometimes with posts, sometimes with your own topics, sometimes as a moderator. Thanks for all those times.

I hope your path becomes smooth.

With warm thoughts,

Joanna

Thanks Joanna. For me at least a big part of that was not letting my short comings hold me back and not worrying about what others think because it's my life not theirs. As others have noticed, when I do video calls I often let my hair down so to speak and not focus on my appearance and as a result being comfortable with the woman I am. I help where and when I can. The other day I posted a topic more with others in mind than myself because I think sometimes our experiences can other members and the issues your facing. We often feel or believe we have to do certain things because they are expected of us to either achieve a certain look, sound or feel along with aligning our behaviors and interests to our chosen gender's. Truth be told we can choose what behaviors, interests and everything else about our transitions because we only need to answer to ourselves and what we want out of our transitions. Hugs
