Karen. You are the only you I have ever known at this site. I am thankful for that. Your blog, with it's candor and clarity is going to help a lot of people I am sure. Veronica.

Michele, Going to the gym regularly (the one for exercise, not sex) will pay dividends for the rest of your life. Easy for me to say, of course. Does it feel good when you go even if you don't achieve the running speed that you used to do? For me there is something about the exercise itself that just makes me feel better. I do have goals too but even when I don't achieve them I know that the exercise itself is good for me. As far as the man goes, it sounds to me like there is something you worry about being with him. Maybe he feels good in bed but in your heart you don't trust him. I think you should listen closely to your heart and give him up. Find a new one (maybe at the gym!) so your body and your mind will be happy. Be well, Emma

Thanks a lot. The only choices I needed to make was when to start and when I'm old and strong enough for some of my family members. Come out of a family with old school rules, your elders decide if you may or not. My career was the first rebellion and my life has always been a rebellion, as I couldn't face a world of not being me. So good to be positively female.

Emma Whining sometimes is used as a method of maintaining my sanity and perspective. So will continue. Michele Ps. Thank goodness for mother choosing my name at birth, and me loving it. Amd also never needing to hide my inner or true self.

Hello Haley, As Veronica and Monica have said, you're certainly not alone here, and you are very welcome. We'd all love to hear more from you, your thoughts and opjnions in the Forum threads and here in your blog. TG Guide is a safe and supportive oasis for all trans people and its full of information. But it's also a place with its own family of friends and acquaintances that I hope you will become a regular part of. Hugs, Emma

Haley, you are NOT ALONE! Monica

Hey Michele, Good to hear from you and I wish you a happy birthday although I know you're looking forward to tomorrow since it will no longer be your birthday. Wow, to be 35 again. I'll be 59 this year and you're so far ahead of me in your trans journey. I wish you the very best! Hugs, Emma
