It's true.
I've been a member her for quite some time, approaching 4 years now I think. So many of the veteran members here helped me so much when I was first starting out and quite possibly I would not be where I am today without some of you. So much support and advice sought and received over the years that I could never forget the people here.
I did my best to give back for awhile but over the last two years I've just kind of faded from the scene. This is unforgivable. Just because I have attained most of my goals is no reason to stop giving back to the community that his given me so much. So with many apologies I will try to be as helpful to others as others have been to me.
To those of you who don't know me, I'm Cami. HRT for 4 years, full time since 2009, working in stealth only out to my closest friends in my personal life. I have been so blessed with so much and I have learned so much that I think it's required of me to share what I can. I don't know everything or have an answer for every question but I will do my honest best to give what I can.
My experiences are:
I've been married and divorced, started transition on the job and got "laid of", Worked openly as trans and ultimately got fired for it, worked openly as trans and was accepted and loved for it. Worked in stealth (now) and find it much easier... Dated guys, been intimate with a couple, tried to be a lesbian but failed. Going to school, only out to staff who need to know. Been on the on again off again roller coaster ride of stopping and starting hormones. Had laser... made some very bad fashion choices. And nearly been killed for not telling a guy I was dating before it got to far.
I've had to deal with loosing family and so called friends but in the end I have been blessed with a new family that has taken me as one of their own and I have made some new wonderful friends.
But in the end I am living the dream and even my worst days now are still better then my best days were before. Their really is light at the end of the tunnel (or top of the tree trunk for you gentlemen here... you know what I mean
)
If you know who and what you are please don't ever give up on the dream because it is so worth it. If you're still trying to figure it out, ask questions. If your feeling discouraged, sad, or lonely reach out because there are people here who really care. And if you really need a good laugh... ask to see some of my early stage transition pictures... I look at them now a think... "WTF were you snorting girlfriend?"
Oh! and if you wanna wear white shoes after laborday you go right ahead and do so... jut don't wear heels with sweat pants... thats just tacky. :p
Love Cami. <3
