Circe

My name is Circe, and I am a woman who happens to be trans.  I'm from California originally, but have lived in Virginia near the woods for over 20 years.  I currently do IT work, but I also like to do light based art ("light shows") .  I have been a sailor and a scuba diver, and I may get back into that someday when I've finished shape-shifting.

I've had FFS and GCS, and am looking for surgeons for BA and a face lift. I've been on HRT for 4 years.

This is my second time transitioning.  I started when I was in my mid-twenties, but an intersection of religion, ignorant therapist, and an overdeveloped sense of self-sacrifice led me to detransition.  That, and falling in love with someone who said they'd leave me if I didn't stop.

But I'm here now, late but happy!

Hi Circe,

I see that Danielle, one of our other lovely greeters, has already officially welcomed you (though you've been hanging out for a while) so I'll just add my welcome here. Thanks for writing your introduction. It's nice to see you joining in!

I can't imagine the strength of will it must have taken to detransition. Once I finally admitted the truth to myself, I wouldn't have been capable of it.

It hadn't occurred to me before that what we're doing is shapeshifting. What an appropriate and clever way to put it! It does beg the question, though: If what we're all doing is shapeshifting, does that make Susan's the Great Link?

Hi Circe!

I loved it when you said you see a woman who happens to be trans. I am happy for you that you are transitioning again. Best wishes and I hope to see you around!

Your NEEDS drive your WANTS which drive your ACTIONS. To not take action is to not meet your needs.

I am like an archaeological excavation - being uncovered piece by piece, slowly...methodically... until all of the real ME stands proud in the light of day.
