Title: Davina checking in
Post by: DavinaG on August 02, 2012, 12:13:35 PM
Just wanted to say hi.  I guess the label for me is cross-dresser but I see myself as bi-gendered.  Just beginning to be comfortable with where I sit on the gender continuum and plan to express my feminine persona more. 

Cheers,

Davina

Hi Davina, :icon_wave:
Welcome to our little family. Over 7722 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.


Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams. Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.
But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another sister(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)

Hi Davina ,

A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.

There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in and start talking.

Don't worry too much about labels. Annah says, "Labels are for candy packets", and she's no doubt right. Just be who you are, and you'll go a long way. After all, this IS a 3 dimensional spectrum we live in.

Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.

Lotsa huggs
Catherine

Thank you all for the welcome!  After about 30 years of struggling with this from ~12yo, I think what I was missing most was the sense of community and having others I can relate to.  While I am open with my wife about my gender duality and don't hide it from my daughters I am not public yet but had a realization that I must express who I am and have committed to getting Davina out into the world.  I recently came out to my Sister-in-law's partner and she is super supportive and is committed to helping me figure things out (Wife is supportive but not as girly as Davina and doesn't know how to help).

Welcome to Susan's Place, Davina.

You might want to visit our Androgyne forum.

I will visit, I am most present in the CD forum because I like to portray both sides somewhat independently if you can understand that but mentally I may fit in some respects.  If I had to choose to live withing the spectrum it would be somewhere on the femme side though.   In any case I have a lot to learn about everything TG and more to learn about myself.

Not going to worry about labels, it is all a continuum anyway.  Thank you all for the warm welcome, I already love all of you.

Hugs,

Davina

Hi Davina, welcome from Boston! I identify as a crossdresser. It doesn't make me a bad person. All the other terrible things I do make me a bad person! Just kidding! See you around, hugs, Devlyn
