Mel from the midwest just wanted to say hello

[Melstl1234]

Hello everyone i wanted to introduce myself.   I am a trans  but that is just a small part of me.    I have been living as a woman for about 4 years just recently got on hormones. I am not in any type of rush. I always want to make sure i am having fun in life and so far its been a blast.  I try and live by example. I absolutely dont judge people and I dont get caught up in pronouns, misgendering, or any type of normal trip up.  i strongly believe that if you want to be treated fairly you should treat others fairly.   

I think a little differently than alot of my trans friends in that i feel like cross-dressers, trans women, and even drag queens have way too many similarities to ignore. And i wish to bring the communities together as long as people understand the distinctions i dont see why we cant get along. i have met many from all three groups and inside of each group there are vast differences and that makes me happy. i have met trans women that have made me question myself because they were so different.  but its our differences that makes us all stronger. 
.
knowledge is power and this website and forum is filled with a vast amount of information if you want it.

I remember like 10 years ago stumbling upon this website and its kinda the only one like it. its unique. i am glad that it is still going and didn't get put on a shelf.  I hope everyone stays safe. i want to end with a quote. from someone who  still inspires people at least i hope.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.  -bruce lee
