When I was a lurker, the trans presence on Era was kind of influential and it was one of many sources of discussion and news that I looked at specifically related to trans issues. At the time, I thought I was just an ally and was neglecting to reflect on why this stuff has always pulled at me the way it does.
I knew 2 yrs ago that I might be trans. I came out last August at 38 yrs old. So far, it's going pretty well. The most friction I get is with doctors -- in my city, the only ones with availability and who will do GAC are young and cling to outdated guidelines like scripture. Most people either stare, trying to clock me probably, or are indifferent. And I live in the prairies of Canada, the part of this country I figure I could most expect to be harassed openly.
Anyways, I wanted to introduce myself I guess? I haven't participated directly in any trans-related discussion or thread here as yet -- mostly because they don't seem to be as common or as popular as they used to and I miss them when they aren't Page 1. I'll subscribe to this one so I don't miss it.
