Hi everyone. It's been around a year, but I thought I'd drop in and say hello in case anyone I used to chat with is still around.
My name is Renée. I use she/her pronouns.
I started using this forum around the beginning of my gender experimentation. I had no self-confidence and I used this board as a way to get some sort of validation through a really tough time in my life. So here's the update on where I am now.
I'm a super junior (had to add another year) at my music school in Wisconsin.
I'm not the most medically responsible (won't go into detail on that, obviously, but worth mentioning) person in the world, but I've been diligently taking HRT since July of 2018 and have been (mostly) on HRT since January 2018 with some break patches.
When I joined this board (I think), I was in a lesbian relationship. I have since broken up with and discontinued contact with that person. I've made many, many personal strides since then. I'm now in a lesbian relationship once more.
But I have more confidence in the quality of this person's character.
Hopefully this isn't the wrong place to post this. I'm thinking I'll be back in a reasonable amount of time to carry conversations, but also there's a certain value in shedding your skin, even if it used to fit you so well. Thank y'all for being here for me when I needed you. 💙
