I am looking for like minded people to build life-long friendships with. I am 40 years old looking to meet other Transgender woman for guidance and support; who have blazed the trail ahead of me. I am tired of the bar scene and uptight people. If I happen to meet someone special, I would be willing to consider a relationship, but for now, I am concentrating on my transition. I live full time as a woman, even though I am brand new to transition. I am starting off kind of inconspicuous with how I dress in public to avoid unwanted harassment. I have lost friends and family with my decision already and I do not know what was worse; losing friends or family, but one thing is for certain, I will no longer hold back or let anyone else try and hold me back from completing my transition. If they cannot accept me for who I am... then, that's their loss not mine because if they choose to depart as my friend, then they were never really my friend to begin with. I am obviously pre-op, but I will be post-op by 2015 or sooner (knock on wood). I love to draw and I love all kinds of music. I am not into head games or tranny chasers. I also despise people who are "holier than thou" and pass judgment. I am a Pisces and tend to show my heart on my sleeve, please do not take advantage of this fact. I would walk a 1000 miles for a friend. I hope we can become friends.

I was born as Denny in Cleveland, Ohio in 1970. I spent five years living on the West Side of Cleveland. I knew from age... well age five, that I wasn't in the right body. I had three older sisters; at first I attributed it to that and the fact that I had not even wore male cloths up until that point.... hand-me-downs from my sisters. But, it wasn't that... the feeling only grew with time. I excelled in "male" sports and activities, wondering if this might change this feeling inside of me... but, no.... and yet again, it only grew stronger.... At the age of seventeen I joined the Army Reserve... surely this would "straighten me out.... No, it only grew stronger... After graduation from High School, I went into the Regular Army.... change my MOS from Combat Medic to Infantry... This would surely do the job...... jumping out of airplanes, Infantry... yes this was it.... this would do the job..... Six years and three wars latter..... The feeling inside only grew stronger. Alright... I'll get married..... Nope... Two marriages latter, the feeling only grew stronger. So, I decided to let this "feeling" which had been growing stronger and stronger inside of me since age five... to "come out" and be born. So I started my transition on January first of this year....dships with. I am 40 years old looking to meet other Transgender woman for guidance and support; who have blazed the trail ahead of me.
