Title: Introduction
Post by: Christina Jean on March 31, 2013, 06:21:54 AM
Hi

So my name is Christina and I would just like to introduce myself.  I am a transwoman and support this website as a resource.  For me transition has been an incredibly wonderful experience that really just completely fulfilled my life.   I always new I was trans ever since I was young.  As a cisgendered boy I assumed when I grew and reached puberty I would just change into a girl.  Even though there wasn't any rational thought in that belief, it was completely real for me and exactly what I expected.  I guess it did happen, but it just took a little bit longer than I thought.

Anyhow I have been out for about three years.  I came out to my wife who accepted my as I am and loves me very much and doesn't care that much about what my gender is, just about who I am, which means the world to me because I love her so much. 

I have gotten pretty deep into gender studies and gender theory and have a whole library now in my house just dedicated to trans issues and gender.  I have become a little bit of a junkie on trans issues but it is just because I have so many questions and even three years on into transition there is still so much that I want to learn.

I realized the other day that when I was finally contemplating transition as a real step in my life five years ago, Susan's Place was actually one of my main resources.  I absorbed this site like a sponge for three or for months and the stories and posts here really gave me the courage to take the first steps.  So now I am back and will try to be a part of this community to support other people.
