Hey Guys and Girls,

I have known that I did not fit within the rigid bounds of the binary gender definitions since I was a child. A few months ago, at the tender age of 34 I decided that I was ready to take the gamble of revealing my true identity to the world. To my family, my friends, my colleagues and indeed the world.

It was really scary but I have met such unimaginable acceptance, love and support that I wanted to share my personal blog with all of you. For many years I have stalked this website and others like it, too afraid to even engage. I lived within the confining squeeze of anxiety, depression, shame, fear and suicidal desires for almost two decades and I have now learnt that I didn't have to.

If there is anyone reading this who can empathise with these feelings, perhaps my story will help you to find the insurmountable happiness that I am now living every day.

[Sorry - but just until I have read the Terms of Service and make sure I am not violating them I will temporarily remove my link]

Peace and love.

*hugs* Welcome, sweetie. I'm glad you finally decided to join. There's no need to be afraid of participating here.

You're very welcome here, and nice blog!    I'm curious how you feel about using "Mx" ("Mix") as a gender neutral title, or if you prefer switching between Mister and Miss?
