Lol...Yep...turned 50 two weeks ago. Already got my ball of yarn, cup of tea, and saying "I rememebr when I was young" a lot lol

And ty, very kind of you to say

Sarah,

Please stay.  As a person who's only come to terms with being TG and looking at beginning my path, having you here really helps. 

I live in a community, where I'm the only trans person I see on a regular basis.  I know that there are others, I hear about them from time to time.  I've even been on a jury with one lady.  But out of respect, I didn't even out myself to her.  I know that she was having a hard time as well, as she was underemployed.   

My community has problems keeping regular primary care physicians.  Getting gender specialists even a hundred miles away is going to be down right impossible.  My therapist will be moving, and she's tried to find another, but there is no one else here.  So, I'll have to drive an additional 40 miles one way. 

As for activism, I know everyone is different.  In my case, I'll be looking to add acceptance, and a bit of understanding to my world.  I'm also looking to restart a local PFLAG chapter that stopped because key participants just stop attending, and it went dormant.  I've already got a busy life...  I don't know how I'm going to fit this in, but I really need something.  I'm all for changing minds, one at a time.
