| It's been a while since I was last here and I thought it would be good to get involved with the group again. The career change just hasn't happened but I guess that's ok as it looks like my current position will be improving. Transition is still bumping along but I'm really determined not to go back... |

| Thanks for all your thoughts. It could be that I was showing some signs of being trans and in the late 60's that was something that probably wasn't, well it was a very different time. |

I was smart, probably have Asperger's-I was a defiante dork in junior and senior high, in college and in much of my working life. My parents are gone,... |
