Can you introduce yourself?
I'm an ordinary, boring, 50-something, white, middle-class transsexual woman; based in London and trying to build a life that feels more like mine and less like one I was camping out in until something better came along.

As well as my own blog, I contribute to two others - The F-Word (http://www.thefword.org.uk/blog/by/helen_g/) and Questioning Transphobia ( http://questioningtransphobia.wordpress.com/ ). I'm also co-curator of the Genderfork feed at Twitter (http://twitter.com/genderfork ) and the point of contact for the London hub of the National LGBT Cancer Network ( http://www.cancer-network.org/ )
