Hello everyone!

My name is Catherine, I'm new to the forum and felt I should introduce myself.
Like my screen name suggests, I love the outdoors and even though I live in the city, my heart is in the country. I really enjoy exploring places by horseback and raft, but can be talked into trekking with the right people. I also hunt, which feeds, no pun intended, my passion for cooking.
When not doing any of the above I enjoy reading, both fiction and non-fiction, as well as magazines like The Economist, The New Yorker, Atlantic, Harpers and Vogue. Movie wise I trend towards period films, British romantic comedys and French dramas.
I am a mtf transgendered woman in her mid-30's who is in the early stages of transition. I have been working with a therapist for a little over 12 months now, am about halfway finished with removing my facial hair and am scheduled to begin HRT late next month. Currently I live about 30% of my life deliberately presenting as female and am moving towards full time. All of my immediate family and a few of my friends know about the path I am on and have been very supportive, even the wife I am in the process of ending a marriage with. I feel very lucky to have all of them in my life.
Well, enough about me! I look forward to getting to know all of you!
Sincerely,
Catherine
