So now that you're post-op, done, transitioned...what are you up to?

[rejennyrated]

In the 25 years since I became postop I have been:

Socially
1. In a longterm relationship for 21 years.
2. Bringing up a privately adopted son.
3. Moving slowly up the property investment ladder.
4. Playing a full role in my local community.
5. Contributing to the Trans community where possible both by participating in online discussions and by campaigning and getting involved in changes to UK legislation.

Workwise
1. A software engineering project leader working on classified projects.
2. A BBC Television Videotape editor and Archive restoration specialist.
3. A public speaker and occasional local radio presenter.
4. A writer.

In short I've had a varied and exciting life and I wouldn't change a single moment of it.

since transitioning and ops over 20 years ago, I'm now just a regular ordinary girl. Plans are to continue in my chosen career till retirement. I work in IT and am an IT Manager for a big US company. Also would like to complete the book I started writing a couple of years ago and to keep riding my motorbike for as long as I can. Other than that - just to continue enjoying life and spending money.

Hi..

      Im from the old school . so my back ground is over some 62 years.   being in the building trade & related other trades . 45 years .
  Retired now so have time to be involved in womens groups   one is our edwardian one we have a good group of mainly women Who have accepted me plus a few men as well .

Family . our grown up kids 3 of  have accepted that i am still thier father . just the change to a woman is not what they expected . & in the main know that im a woman .  Our 7   grand kids have accepted me as well .

        Jos has accepted & we still live to gether just as two women .
In many aspects i still do the same things as before . that i knew . even after i came out to Jos 11 years ago . how i live or we live has changed . the biggest detail is i can be true to my self & be accepted . for who i am & as a woman. that is what is so neat .
   not having to be some one who  was / is not really the person that i had been taught to be .

          So for me now i can do things that i could never have done before . I can dress as & express my self in the way that is really who i am . & that is just so neat .

Whats ahead . like most of my life . the way ahead will have up s & downs & that to will make me stronger  & some what wiser .
Spending time with Dejarn our granddaughter who is one neat girl . & doing things for our daughter . & having time with our family .
  Meeting up with friends i have made on our forums over the last 3 years .
  my 4 words are
love life . live life . 
   &  enjoy it .
