Hi everyone,
My name will be Estoni on here, and I'm a 25 year old woman, who started viewing posts on Susan's around 5 years ago, when I became serious about finally physically transitioning into the woman I always knew I was. I started HRT August of 2014, and began living full-time as myself the following winter (2014/2015). The input, questions, and information on Susans were of great help throughout my entire transition. I figured I should contribute to our community somehow finally. A little about me, I'm studying Biochemistry and work as a research assistant in a lab studying neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, and I live in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. I live in stealth, which to me means that  nobody in my life except my family, and friends who knew me pre-transition, know of me being a trans woman. It can be lonely in some ways, so I'm looking forward to being a part of the community on Susans.
