Hello,
My name is Brianna, but everyone who knows me calls me Bri. I was born February 16, 1983 gifted in being what i am. Though some days it is a trial to see that. I was raised by a family where my mother was/is a nurse and my father was a marine vietnam vet. It was an abusive upbringing but i donot hold it against either one of them. My father accepted me for what i am as much as he knew before he left this world 3 years ago..while my mother is still in denial of what i am.
I kept wishing and hoping my real family would come and find me when i was growing up, knew i was different but i did not really have that much contact with anyone else, rather isolated as a youngster so didn't really know what was going on til much later. I only knew that my heart had urges and my instincts told me i was not as i appeared to be. And i suffered for acting with those instincts from both my father and those in authority as i was goriwng up.
When i was 16 or so i looked into the operations, i knew i was curiosu but not to why i was. Wasnt until 8 years later where i began examing things much closer and coming to the realization that i am now not only living with but am striving to follow through with to be able to attain a sense of happiness with my physical being as i have with my heart mind and soul.
There is much much more to the Story but am laying some of the bare bones to be seen.
Now I am living with a close friend, an elder sister in a number of ways who accepts me and as soon as i finish the move i am in the middle of i will be starting both the electrolysis and the hormone therapy in South Carolina.
That's my Intro and i will probably tell more story a short time down the road, but meanwhile take care, may fortune favor you all, and Blessed Be to all, and to those of us born with this gift even as hard as it is to see it at times and those that love us.

Hello Bri,
Funny, I have a daughter named Sabrina and her nickname is Bri too. Welcome to the boards and I am sure you'll find many things to contribute too and to learn from. I have only been here a short time myself and can say this is a great place...
Welcome!
Peace and love,
Izzy

Hi Bri,
Welcome to Susans.
I'm happy you accept yourself. It's a shame about your past, but you have a chance to live a really good life.
I can relate to what you wrote here -
I wish you well,
Rebis

thank you all for your welcoming words. brings warmth to my heart to know that at least among ourselves and those that accept us that the gift we have been granted is not a curse to be lamented. but a present to be experienced and lived.

There are no curses but those we bring upon ourselves.
