Anyone remember a year ago when I first had a wander in the forest? I was just starting out and more than a little confused by everything (especially tying my shoelaces...those things are in league with the fruitcake) and I spent a lot of time in here figuring me out. But then as I transitioned I noticed that there was a slight decline down towards the female end of the spectrum and some bugger had coated the floor in teflon and I went careering off in a direction I hadn't really expected. But now things have leveled out somewhat and while I identify 100% female I have come to realise that I am in fact a very femme tomboy (talk about condridictions) and perhaps the forest is more of a second home than I thought.

I feel a kinship with you guys, even though I may not strictly speaking be androgynous, rather I just embrace all aspects of my personality as being female regardless of what society thinks. Hey, I'm a girl so if i'm doing something it's automatically feminine because I'm doing it. ;D

Possibly not the greatest revalation the world has seen, but I felt the need to share.

We have a really big forest and all are welcome to camp out here for as long as they like. We like having you around and you fit in well with our slightly warped world  :D

This.  :)  I'm glad that you like us.  ...I suddenly feel like Sally Field.

I think that once you've been camped here, you can never really leave

Cool, and always a pleasure to have you here. You have often seemed the right kind of sane.

Oh, and

On a shorter timeline, but I think I've had much the same revelation of sorts in my own life.  First I said I couldn't lay claim to being a "tomboy" since I'd been raised a boy and that explained it.  Granted, by virtue of my job, I'm in a fairly hypermasculine period right now, but I like doing "boy stuff" AND I'm confident enough in myself to know that I'm a boy in looks only...  :)

Don't know if that makes sense, but I can't think how else to explain it...
Our biograhies are our own and we need to accept our own diversity without being ashamed that we're somehow not trans enough.
