Aspiringperson is now Alaskan Danielle

[Deborah]

@ Deborah:   Oh yes, for sure.... stepping back in time.   Nome is about twice the size of the little out of the way little town I now live in.   It's full of hunters, outdoors men, etc... and probably not the most trans-friendly place to live.... but I relocated here as a female 17 months ago, living full time, started my own small business, and I have developed lots of friends, business clients and a group of cis girlfriends that I go exercising with... at this time, there is no one that knows me other than as a woman... but the day may be coming that I will have to reveal my past and I will be most likely be the talk of the town... just hoping it won't adversely affect my business and my close friends (male & female) that I have made in this 17 months.  I am not looking forward to that but when it comes I will deal with it.
Danielle ...  formerly Aspiringperson

One memory that sticks in my mind was when I was out hunting in a remote place with no roads, only dirt trails for ATVs and some isolated cabins. 

I was walking down the trail and passing me in the other direction was a rather small woman carrying a baby in one arm and with a rather large .44 mag under the other arm (LOL). 

It was just so incongruous looking for someone that grew up in civilization.

PS.  We did get a big moose that day.  They are no fun to clean. ☹️

OK, I have hesitated long enough...  Aspiringperson is now Alaskan Danielle.

Wow, Danielle, reading your story is inspiring. Many of us have come to know you as the ever present and dedicated forum administrator, it's a gift to see the woman behind the title, Alaskan Danielle, who stepped into her truth with grace, strength, and courage.

Thank you for sharing this more personal side of yourself. 💗

It's good to know you not just as a leader in this community, but as a sister walking alongside us as well.
