Been putting this off for a few days because I always feel weird writing about myself, but my amorous rendezvous scheduled for tonight got cancelled because the Lions lost and every man in the city of Detroit is depressed as a result so I had some time to kill 🙂
My name is Gaby, and I am a 28 year old trans woman. I live in the Detroit suburbs and work as a retail associate. I came out as attracted to men in 2017 and experimented with my expression before socially transitioning to live as a woman full time in 2018. I started HRT the next year, changed my name and sex marker in 2020, have been getting laser treatments since last year, and am currently in the process of getting FFS and orchi, pending me saving up a good deal of money of course.
I am new to the Susan's community and fresh off a social media purge. A lot of the online trans spaces I have been involved with in the past as a relatively young person have been obsessed with narrow discussions about politics and drama, which I try to avoid as much as possible. I honestly had become pretty alienated from the trans community as a response to some of the more extreme rhetoric that seemed to be gaining traction online and in the media. Over time, however, I have come to realize that my transness is a part of me that I can't escape no matter how much I wish I could, and that there is value in sharing and learning from other women who have lived with this condition and are forging happy, fulfilling, and meaningful lives for ourselves.
I'm big on self-improvement and embodying the femininity that I feel, so I'm really into things like diet, exercise, makeup, and skincare. Probably my biggest hobby is cleaning (what can I say, I'm a Virgo), usually done with some musical accompaniment in the background (Adele and Amy Winehouse are my all-time fave artists).
Here's hoping this boring, aging Millennial has something of value to contribute here. Looking forward to interacting with all you lovely people!
