Hello everyone, ;D
My name is Alex. I've been lurking for awhile, but finally decided to join and introduce myself. Where to begin?!
I'm a wandering soul, currently located in the deep south. I work outside with plants, and sometimes feel more at home with them than with other people..
This year I finally decided to transition full-time, and moved back to this place from a large city out west. I've moved around a bit.. After coming out to everyone, totally all at once, I'm currently transitioning in a small town, working in a cismale-dominated field and trying to balance my livelihood and my transition. So far, I have had no luck finding an endocrinologist or gender therapist in my area. Also, since I am underpayed and uninsured, I am considering other options in order to begin HRT. Many days the dysphoria and anxiety are too much to handle, but generally I am able to make each day a little better than the last. :D
Plans are currently to move to another place early next year, and I am hoping to be able to present full time as my actual self when I am able to make a new start. Anywho, Its wonderful to finally meet you all! <3

A big warm welcome to our family Alex! I hope you enjoy your time with us and learn a lot. You will find we are pretty friendly and no question is silly at all. I hope if you do HRT by other means you will at least have a doctor monitor your health as hormones can wreak havoc on the body if done incorrectly. Word of advice, stay away from herbal formulas promising the world. They just don't work and you will waste money. Relax, pull up a chair and dig right in! You now have an awesome resource for support with us. :)

Hey, Alex. I'm Stephanie. :)
Deep south, huh? You might be somewhere in my general vicinity, then. I'm in Alabama.
I always wanted to have a big, beautiful garden... You know how some people say you should talk or sing to plants? I've daydreamed about having a garden I could skip around and sing in. Hehe~ I'm so silly. Anyway, no garden living in an apartment complex. Maybe someday.
