This year I celebrated a rathar major birthday and it's given me cause to think back on my past and wonder where things went wrong. I'm transgendered (MtF) and know that even back in jr. high things were different. I have always been smart, but fitting in was something else. I had my interests (model railroading, etc) that I still have to this day. College was awful, getting lost in the crowd at a major state university. I never was really diagnosed a/s but I look at things I realize that I probably, was, am, perhaps growing out of it during the past couple of years. I suffered from a major eating disorder for 12 years, got treatment but still fight it some. If there's anyone who wants to chat or send me a message, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi and welcome :)

Been down the eating disorders path myself. Not a fun trip.

Hope you enjoy WP.

Thanks, nice hearing from you. I'm tall (6'2") and somewhat large, but I carry it well. I want to start riding, finally, after procrastinating about it all these years but know to do so I'll need to lose some weight for both the good of the horse and myself. They say every girl has a horse phase, mine is beginning at the age of 50. What really bothers me is that it seems like just now my like is beginning, finally, after seemingly being on "hold" for 28 some years. I just wish it could have started earlier because I feel so many doors would be open to me that are hard to open now

It's both strange and good for you to be here, said the Chesire Cat....
