Hey y'all! I joined this forum a while ago, but never really got involved or even fully introduced myself, soooo here goes!
My name's Bella, most call me Belle (funny story, I learned recently that my great grandma was named Bellvina, and also went by Belle, so apparently I have a family name).
I am just about to turn 20, and I am a transgender woman. I knew I was different ever since I can remember, but I didn't know it wasn't unique to me until I saw this one episode of Tyra when I was about 8. The next several years saw a lot of struggle, and not just with accepting myself and coming out. However, things didn't stay that way (they never do <3).
I got really lucky. From an accepting family (my mama always wanted a daughter), to excellent insurance, to competent medical help, to an amazing supportive boyfriend, I got it good. Thanks to the people around me, I've been able to come into myself with relative ease (not that there aren't challenges).
But enough heavy stuff! I'm a musican/student/trainer (note the order, country music=life), I live with my bf and my amazing big dog Claudia. I love getting outside when it's not suuuuper cold, but House of Cards is a current obsession of mine and keeps me in more than I'd care to share.
Anywayyyy, if anyone wants to chat or has any questions, please, feel absolutely free! I haven't had an opportunity to meet many other trans folk, so I'm pretty excited! (: <3
