hello everyone, I'm pretty new to this site and just wanted to write a little about myself so everyone can get to know me, first off my name is Lavinia which is a Latin name, i recently also just moved back to Providence RI from Florida and it seems to be a little bit easier for me to fit in. i am 32 years old and been like this since i was 6 years old. i one time wore a womans one piece bathing suit to school once under my clothes ofcourse and i was 16 at the time. i have had many problems in the past with alcoholism also which yesterday i was feeling so bad that i decided to drink 5 beers and im only 98 pounds. I currently not on hrt yet, been a really tough thing for me since ive been 6 years old. it was very difficult for me to come out of my shell and let everyone know that I am a woman inside since I didn't even know something like this existed, i just wanted to write a little bit about myself and im glad i found a website that is very caring about all of this.
