Hello! my name is Ashley Ackley. I am 24 years old, and I am from rural MN. I am prior military, and a car and computer geek. I have been transitioning for over a year, and have been on hormones for 8 months.
I was just featured on the nightly news here for my attempts to be reenlisted.

I am not sure what else to say. I have been doing advocacy work for newly transitioning people, and am doing seminars as they come up. I have learned alot, and figured out alot more in my short time. I look forward to participating in the forums here!
