Hi. I am Gina. I loved a normal life as a boy but in high school I was friends with girls mostly. I always thought I would be a pretty one, and my relationships with girls quickly wound up to be more friend then boyfriend girlfriend. I had food around with boys and hadn't thought much about it. But eventually , Rather later in life, I look back on my exploits and they seem to be more of a form of expression. I join the army at 18 and was in the army 20 years with timeout for college and a commission. I loved Germany and that led me to go back in the Army after college. I married a very shy, introverted girl, the very opposite of me. She has a wonderful family and we had wonderful children. My son the youngest is now 21. Six years ago a friend of mine put make up on me and presto change oh, I was transgender and wanted to be female. I have to come with that ever cents. I put it aside for my sons sake because he was still in high school at that time. I just retired, I am 62, and Gina has really exploded into my life. I am going back to my therapist from five years ago this week to discuss HRT. I was told five years ago that my translation was inevitable. I am struggling with excepting that my therapist was right. I am at the Door of acceptance that I am a woman and that translation is the next logical step. In the last three months, I have come out to 10 people. My cousins daughters are my biggest fans and thrilled to be helping me through this time in my life.
