Hi all. My user name is CindyBC. I have visited here before in Susan's chatroom about 7 years ago. I am post-top and have been living in the female gender for nearly 8 years, I just happen upon this group when I was cleaning out my mail box, "hee, hee". I guess I don't clean my email box very often. Anyway I thought I would drop by and check things and see if there any one left here from 7 years ago.
Ya all have a nice day

Hi Cindy,
Welcome back to Susan's. I'm new here myself :) I'm sure you'll find a few people here that were members 7 years ago. Hope to meet you in the chatroom soon.
Hugs & kisses,
Monika

Hi Monika, thanks for the welcome. I run a couple boards and a chatroom myself but there isn't a whole lot of activity there right now. So when things get to be quiet I go board hopping ;D I'll be around for a while and see who might come out of the wood work that I use to know here. It would be interesting to find out how much everyone has progressed from 8 years ago.

Well now, I suggest two things about transitioning. Actually I can sum it up with two short phrases: lots of self confidence, and just being you, the you within.
Once you transition there is only the you within. Do not fear what others will think, generally they don't think. If anyone doesn't like it tell them to go jump in the lake, *in December*. I only had to tell one man, a drunk, to go jump in the lake in the past 8 years.
I suppose some have heard horror stories about transitioning in a small towns. I transitioned in a small town and most people after a time respected me as who I presented. Actually, I had been advised by a transsexual support group to stay in the place that I was familiar with. ;)
I am 62 years old now, 5' 3" 125 lbs but, hey! What can I say, I can still make men turn their heads and look. :laugh:

Hi jacqui.
Well once one knows who resides within, I recommend that one should make a start into transitioning as soon as they are able to. Life is to short to be living it in misery, yes misery, I came near to committing suicide and this was my deciding factor for starting. Actually, literally, I made my transition overnight. I wasn't even on the hormones yet when I began my journey as who I am and as I thought back I always was from a very early age but just was not aware of it nor did I really know what it was and to fearful to start.
I should have realised this back when I was in my early teens I passed as a girl or least ways by those who didn't know me personally. I could have transitioned back then in the sixties and the early part of the seventies. I had long hair nearly to my butt and I went around dressed in uniclothes, which was the fashion back then. But back then I heard so many horror stories about what could happen with guys that exhibited femininity and I did have my share at getting whoped by bullies at school.
I just didn't give it a thought and Helen, my best friend, and I just stubbornly rebelled that much the more and I just let people think what they would. Helen and I were both outcasts anyway and we stuck together like glue, Yep mischievous street waifs, getting into trouble but never anything serious enough to get in trouble with the law, well nothing so serious that just a finger waging and lecture from the local cop wouldn't fix. Actually he was a nice policeman, he sometimes got us some goodies on the way to driving us home .
You see Jacqui I was fighting two wars on two fronts at a time back then. When after sobering up from drinking alcoholically for twenty five years, trying escape from reality I discovered I was also a sensitive, *an empath and transsexual.* That brought me to a realisation that there was much more going on inside of me that I could no longer deny or ignore it. It was the empathy that drew me to examine who resided within more closely.
