Never thought of myself as any kind of "princess" - too earthy for that - but I learned things pre-transition/SRS (1974) that I would rather not have had to learn. I learned that when I have to, I can move mountains and that nothing is impossible if I am really determined.
I am a very amicable and easygoing person but (post transition) I found I could be pushed to a point where I would take it no longer and, like Boudica or a she-bear, rise up bring an end to the situation. Over the years more than one institution or bureaucratic has discovered it isn't wise to poke the old bear LOL!
Yes, more an old bear than a warrior.
