Hello guys and gals,
My name is Jayna and I have been most lurking for a month or so until I felt I would stick around. I am almost 16 months into transition now and went full time at the end of January. I am still on the same job and it seems to be working pretty well. In some ways, since it is mostly male dominated as an industry (I am a 3d artist modeler and animator that works in video game development), it is a bit of status loss. I was recently told I would not be leading our next big project which brought about a lot of negative feelings at first (that I got over after a few weeks).
Family and friends all adapted well to the transition. So well that it made me wonder why I was so scared to tell them in the first place. Honestly, if I knew it was going to be that easy I would have done it long ago. Life is going fantastic and I am involved with a gorgeous gal that I met through a transgender organization in local Sacramento, we have been together about 9 months now and are already scheming on how we can legally marry. I am assuming one of us can legally change gender after SRS, get married, and then the other changes... hopefully that can be a loop hole for us or we will get a domestic partnership (since we are in California).
My partner and I do a podcast on transgender issues and transition in general. Oh... and the how I got here. One of our local friends is a moderator and mentioned this resource so we thought we would join up and give our support to our brothers and sisters here and maybe make new friends in our network.
