I'm new here...

Well, I'm new here. Sort of. I've been around for a long time. Mostly I've just kept myself isolated and maybe read other people's posts. Well... after a lot of life changes, I've decided that I'm not going to fall into that isolation and apathy trap. So. Here I am. Hrm. Brief intro, I suppose.

Male to female transsexual that's known what she is and had a name for it for... seven, eight years now. Twenty-two now. Finally getting started with a solid timeline of when I'm going to be living fulltime and when I'm going to have the surgery, assuming I can meet my savings goals. Not as ambitious as some, in that I want to be full time in 18 months and post-op by my twenty-fifth birthday, but more ambitious than quite a few I've met.

So, I guess that's the most relevant part. Or maybe not! I'm in Richmond, VA. I think I've found a very good counselor, anyone have any recommendations or disrecommendations for Richmond, VA counselors that handle GLBT issues?

introduction

[voleuse469.livejournal.com]

hello,
I'm a queer biogirl currently dating a sassy, razor-sharp professor/writer/artist/good-cook-to-boot who's also preoperative mtf. (to be blunt, i'm smitten.) it's kind of a new situation for me, because, though i've always been interested in gender issues, read tons on the subject, etc., i've never dated anyone trans, just other biological females. i've joined this group (and other trans groups) to keep up on trans issues. Though i'll probably mostly be reading other people's posts, please forgive my ignorance and correct me if i use the wrong terms. i'm also interested in dialogue with/advice from transwomen who date women.

so, nice to meet you.
