Hello all
Well, I've been fighting it all my life but doesn't the damn thing usually just get you in the end. Although I have now reached the grand age of 60, you would not guess it with the full head of long flowing brown locks and working with kids who all think I act about 12. I don't get much time to play cos of working at school, working at family (which includes a wife and 2 kids), and trying to get a local trans support group going, but I am getting by after starting the scariest bit of the final destination (no pun) about 9 months ago. That's it for now. Take care.
Debbie :)
p.s. I love Maths so keep the maths questions coming at the end of the post (not). :laugh:

Hi Deb, greetings from the other end of the world.
The Mods will be along to give you "the good oil" on the way Susan's runs. Lots of good info and friendly folk here.
I'm 57 going on 15 myself. You are only young once but you can be childlike at any age.
Karen.

p.s. I've only just noticed that this is a US site. oops. I guess 'Hello from Lancashire' is a bit meaningless. Oh well. :rolleyes:
Not entirely - greetings from the other side of the Pennines :icon_wave: (I'm not from Yorkshire originally, just moved here) As for age - 31 going on 15 ;)

Oh great
Thanks Sam. I'm not from here either.....flew north from down south a long time ago.
I've got some friends on your side of the pennies too, and two of those are FtM.
Anyway, take care and chat soon.
Debbie
Ooh, you're a Southerner too? Small world :) Whereabouts? I came up from Brighton with my folks - made a stop at Lincolnshire *shudder* before I left them there a few years ago to come up here.

Thanks Padma (wondering where that name comes from)
It's short for something long and Buddhist (and conveniently gender-neutral) :).

You may know of better places in Lincs, but I got stuck with the backward-thinking, generally ignorant folk who stared at me when I was female and kissing a girl - let alone trying to transition there :S Thankfully I got to Leeds before that happened ;P
And in the same spirit of Padma the ninja - *cough* Gainsborough *cough*

Sure, and Lincoln itself is fun - when I was at college in Newark, I used to spend merry hours in Lincoln watching the magical feat of secretaries sauntering up the cobbled hills in high heels. Amazing. Probably involves hidden gyros or something.
