Gwen's Introduction

[Gwen]

Hello:

I am Gwen and I continued to use Basically the same name when I started to transition. The old name was spelled Gwinn.

I knew very early that I was different, and got beat for being too effiminate as a child. Managed to put myself into denial about my true nature in my youthful years but as I grew older, I knew something was wrong and finally came out to my wife about 15 years ago. I finally started living full time two years ago and have never looked back since. It did cost me a job, family, church and friends but I know that is a common story with people like us.

Sexually, I have no life because since the operation, I have no sex drive. I can be emotionally close to women or men, but have not found any men my age that don't have advanced old fart itis. I have had some really serious back injuries but I am still very active and do not plan to let someone who is sitting around on their butt waiting to die slow me down. People say that I am a fighter.

I view myself as submissive to someone I care for. Don't think I'm really interested in strange sexual practices but I don't dis anyone who is.

Blessings

Hi Steph:

I tried to make it clear in my first post that I am looking for emotional comaradaree and not  weird sexual stuff. I am sure we are all aware just how painful all this can be. I did not see anything in the TOS that I disagreed with.

Thank you for the wonderful welcome.

Welcome to Susan's, Gwen!

I'm pleased that you found us and decided to join.  I'll be looking forward to reading more from you.

I'm far from being an expert and I have read that some post-op transwomen actually take small amounts of testosterone to improve their sex drives.  Apparently their adrenal glands don't produce enough to make a difference.

Again, I'm pleased to make your aquaintance and again,

WELCOME ! !

Hi Helen:

I think I may have been on this forum about three years ago but I can't remember for sure. If I ever get to be a Post OP, you can believe that there won't be no stinkin' Testosterone in my life unless my partner has it. LOL

As some of you may feel the same, this week has been really hard on me and I am glad it is over. The family never misses a chance at a good jab.

Blessings

I echo the welcome, Gwen. 

There are older folks and younger folks here in all stages of transition - or not.  I think you'll find lots of folks with whom to share,

Please check the links area as well as the Wikipedia and - of course - our chat channels.
