My name is Legion. 
I've always fancied introducing myself as that. 
It isn't really, it's Kate.  I'm a 30 something Woman of uncertain heritage and I live in a small town on the West Coast of Scotland.  Well a medium sized town.  We have our own LGBT group, well we theoretically have an LGBT group here, I haven't actually been able to track them down yet. When I called and asked for info about it I explained my TS status to the Woman on the other end of the line, she said, slightly surprised sounding, "OOOH a transsexual - there's another one of them that lives here as well."  So I am now on a mission to meet the other transsexual that lives in my home town.  I suspect there may be more than two of us, but two is a start.  I am a frustrated writer/film-maker and when I'm not doing that (which is most days) my paying work is in the alcohol recovery field.  I am also endevouring to set up my own website, which may be something you hear me whinge about in my posts.  I went through the process of transition and surgery a few years ago and have never regreted it or looked back.  One of my big issues in life is the politics of transgender-ness.  When I was transitioning Janice Raymond was widely read and used as a way of trans-exclusion by the less friendly side of queer theory.   I look forward to getting to know you.

Hi Jillieann,
I thought the "My name is Legion" quote was actually a book...Here's how hopeless a case I am -  I think they made it into a movie with Charlton Heston called the Omega Man.  Just thought it was silly way to say hi.

...But as usual I am wrong.  That book was actually called I am legend.
Don't knock the slow witted.  You need us.

Hi Kate,

Welcome to Susan's. It is always great when a post op joins in. There is so much to benefit from the experiences of those who have completed transition. I hope you will post often. So fix yourself a cup of tea or other relaxing beverage, sit down, take your shoes off and set a spell.

Good Journey,

Cassie

Hi Kate,

I agree with Elleane your intro has my interest. So welcome to Susan's it sounds like you might have some interesting experiences if your willing to share. I also suspect there might be a wicked sense of humour there also. Look forward to your posts.
