In case it is not obvious from my user name and message subject, my name is Olivia and I would like to say hello to everyone

I am an out and about single mom of four early in my transition.  I have been transitioning socially for about two years, and started HRT about two months ago.

I enjoy getting out and around people as much as I can, including traveling to the many fun and informative conferences that occur around the nation.  I find it fascinating that I have made more friends in the last two years after coming out of my shell than all the time that preceded that event.

I look forward to meeting more new people and participating in an active community here

A big warm welcome to the family Olivia! It will not take you very long to see this is truly a family. We are like all families and there will be some tense times, but when the chips are down we all come together and do what we can for each other. I hope you enjoy being here and I know you will make friends fast. Feel free to also rant, vent, share good news in your life, learn or just have some distracting fun and meet the rest of the family. After 15 postings you can use the PM feature to contact ANY of us directly for questions or just some talk. Here is a BIG HUG  to welcome you and make you feel right at home!

Hey Olivia, welcome to the forums! I've only been here a short while but feel more welcomed than I have ever been in my life; it's great to be able to be yourself. There are plenty of people from all over the world and at different ages/stages in transition, so I'm sure you'll fit in here just fine!
