Gee, I guess "Barbara" is not a common name-of-choice, since the site allowed me to register it as my username. This must be the first time I've gotten to use my real first name.
Anyway, I'm MTF, and have been full time 23 years, and 30 years on estrogens. I'm a professional and though I changed "on the job" that was 3 jobs ago, and now I am more or less in stealth mode. Somehow, I'm still preop, but once again I'm considering doing the SRS thing. I had a surgery date in the mid 90's, but circumstances forced me to cancel it. Then somehow I just was able to live without it, possibly because I felt it was irrelevant to my needs for companionship, having a close but nonsexual relationship going. With that relationship ended, I find myself more critical of my presentation. I've fallen in love with females, males, and MTF's. My therapist says that makes me a "pansexual" but the term is a bit weird sounding to my ear, so I just prefer thinking of myself as bisexual. So far I seem to make longer lasting relationships with mostly-feminine people, but do better sexually with mostly-masculine people. That's a typical bi quandry, they say. Anyway, hello to everyone.
