I don't always respond to pms. Mostly because I don't cyber, but also because most tend to be dull and uninspired. If you're going to pm me your best bet is to get my attention with something clever.
I identify as transgender woman. I'm still very early in my transition. I crossdressed for eight years and was married to a full-time transgender woman. I've been living as a full-time woman since 05/13, and I started hormone therapy on 07/13. I had no plan to to transition, nor was I very prepared... Sonya just eventually took the reins and showed up permanently one day. My transition has been the most wonderful thing to ever happen in my life.
Being a woman makes me feel more complete, more centered and happier than I ever felt living as a male. I'm still getting my handle around the finer points. I need work. I don't know how passable I am and I'm not sure I really care. But I like what I see when I look in the mirror, and that's good enough for me.
I've been on this site a number of years now. It's been a great form of support for me. Back when I was a crossdresser, I used to come here as an exhibitionist and a voyeur. But crossdressing lost its sexual edge as Sonya began to evolve as an individual. Now that I'm full-time, you'll see me in my everyday clothes, and I tend to leave them on (with the exception of the tattoo tour... made available upon request).
I come here to meet friends and have interesting chats with complete strangers. I've had the recent luck to meet a few wonderful ladies in person and hope to do so again.
