hihi all,

I've been to this site several times and never peeked into the forums. Well today on a whim I did and it looks like a good thing everyone has going here... I've been around on other trans related forums but they seemed to be more trouble than anything else. So if you've known a rosebride else where its most likely me. So drop me a line : )

Where to start I'm 29 years old MtF (not that I agree I was ever male...lol) I am living full time and in a long term relationship (13 years). She's known the whole time (that's a story best left for another post). I've only been "full time" for about a year but everything's pretty well settled down. I would say more about the early years but I've found a lot of us have similar stories knew when I really young... hid it ... ect. ect... ect......

I firmly believe that everything is filtered through each of our perspective and that the best way to understand the world and those around you is to realize that and try to understand how others see it.... as such, recently I've been thinking a lot about how different people view being trans... I used to think (wrongly I might add) that most everyone thought the way I do about it. I personally feel that I am not trans... I was Trans back when I had to play the guy everyday and keep up the fake appearance that I was one.. back then I was cross living (and it was crazy stressful)  now days I'm just living my day today life... It almost seems bizarre to think I used to go to all that effort to be something I never wanted to be...

So hello and let me know what you think...I love a good conversation

Welcome and Hello, Rosebride!

Since I'm still waiting for that darn endo referral (which is "in the hopper" I'm told - still waiting .  .   .    .) I'll be looking forward to reading more about you from your experiences.

Thanks for joining us and deciding to begin posting and, again,

WELCOME ! ! !
