Not great with my words. But my name is Laurel. I am very young in terms of my transition. ( It only started last August.) But I'm getting up there in age. ( I just turned 36 years old.)
I don't have many interests. Mainly video games ( Pokemon, anything Mario., No FPS.) Cooking shows, some politics ( but at times I have my limits. ) And hanging out with my partner.
Up untill very recently, I would describe my personality as a blank slate most of the time, with a side of depression. I didn't really want people to know who I was. So I stuck to superficial friendships. Very few people knew much about me, which is why they were so shocked when I came out.
I am more than aware, that I look and sound very masculine. There's not a ton I can do about that, that's cards I was dealt. Sometimes it's an uncomfortable situation to be in, because I get lots of stares, and laughs. But I deal with that, because I am happy with me, and I no longer have to pretend to be macho. ( Believe me I'm not.)
I'm here to ask questions, that I can't ask most people because they don't understand. ( Gender dysphoria sounds like a bizarre thing to people who haven't gone through it.)
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. And I am glad to be here....
