Today is my first birthday as my true self. It may be my 43rd, but those first 42 years pale in comparison to the last 1 year. I've accomplished so much in such a short time, gained so many new wonderful friends, and of course found love with Alexa. I've lost a friend, but reconnected with old ones and my long-lost sisters.
There is no way whatsoever I'd be where I am today if it weren't for all of you here. Your support, knowledge, wisdom, and love are what gave me the strength and courage to be who I was meant to be. Thank you, I love you all.
And a special thanks to Susan for creating this wonderful place where we can all learn from and support one another.
