Thanks to both of you for the friendly welcome. I was a member here several years ago, and my account was one of those lost in the recent technical troubles. Danielle has been hard at work helping me get a new account set up. For some reason, the usual account creation process was just not working for me.
I've been on the Discord server for a couple years now. I think I just fell into chatting there more than posting here. I go by Faraday there.
I am a middle-aged (>50) ftm trying to keep all the plates spinning until each can be safely tucked away into the cupboard: job change, separation from spouse, moving out, and of course, gender transition. I've been on HRT since last summer, and have top surgery lined up for May. Change has been slow, but it is happening, and patience is one of my strong suits.
I look forward to posting more here over the next months. One upside of being (temporarily, I hope) out of work is that free time is more plentiful.
