Hello all.  I will start by divulging WAY too much I am a woman in my 40s and I have been 'out' for over four years.  Unfortunately the Creator (if one eists, I am not sure) saw fit to leave me with a fairly masculine body.  I seriously doubt I will ever "pass".  I have larned to live with it.  all my real hair (yay! younger bro is bald!).  There is however no doubt as to the fact that I am a woman.  I have a real chance at surgery coming up and that has been sustaining me for a while now.  I also have a brutal case of depression.'

Hi Lisa Anne,

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 start talking and ask any question you like. You're quite safe here and we are very accepting

You obviously know, "passing" starts on the inside and works its way out. So don't give up just yet. There's plenty of time left. Fortunately passing is the only thing they can't operate on. It's whats between your ears that does it.

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

Lotsa huggs
Catherine
