Um...hi everyone. I'm really, really terrible at these...greeting things. :D I normally don't step into introductions, since I usually don't know where to start. Buuuut I figured it wouldn't be so bad if I said hi to everyone first, right?
Um...so. Hi! :) I'd say more but I don't think it'd be appropriate for this space?
Hi Sasha,
I'm Laurie, Welcome to Susan's place. (Hug) Come on in and take a good look around. Tell us a little bit more about yourself so we can get to know you a little better and greet you properly.
I'll add some links and information below that can help you get more out of our site. Please take time to become familiar with them especially the RED one as we are always getting questions that are answered there.

Um...ok then. Let's see. I guess the first place to start off at is Sasha is the name I chose for myself because it kind of rolled around in my brain perfectly. I was searching for a name that really fit me and described who I really wanted to present myself as to the world. A name that matched my soul. It's not my birth name, but it is my name. I don't mind going by just Sasha or even Rose. Both are fine!
It's kind of funny. Throughout my years of "Deny it!--accept it!--deny it!--accept it!" about who I am, in my search for info, I stumbled past Susan's. I was always too scared to really step foot in. But here I am. Making an intro. Saying hi and toeing the waters. :D
It's kind of scary.

Sasha is a pretty name as is Rose so you have chosen two pretty names. The names I chose are Laurie Jeanette and they are tributes to two girls I had a bit of a crush on in high school. They also allow me to keep my given name initials.
I had a similar beginning as you did but I had 5 sisters to borrow from. I cross dressed for the better part of 64 years. I tried to stop so many times I cannot remember. Eventually I conceded that I could not stop it and it was something I HAD to do. It caused me so much trouble and guilt in my life. I became an angry, insecure, unhappy old man until I found Susan's and other sites to find some good information about who and what I am. I began my transition last December when I started HRT and joined this great site and have made some wonderful friends here. And you can too.
Glad you have found us also.
Hugs,
Laurie
