There's nothing quite like being tortured by TS, as I'm sure that many here can quite relate to.

I am 51, but I am mistaken for 40ish, constantly. Some are shocked when I am asked what my age is.

It's just astounding what HRT and workouts can do.

I've been in transition for a while now, an interesting experience to say the least.

I'm a Technical writer and you'll have to bear with me, as I am very precise with language.

My spouse left me because of my TS; this has been ripping me apart, but I do believe that the worst is in the past.

Yet, vestiges remain and rudely surface when I least expect them.

It is good to be here.

Joann,

Welcome to the Forum.

I'm one of those evil Engineers who make Technical Writer's work so ... challenging. Laughing

This is a wonderful place full of listening ears and comforting words.

Warm hugs,

Nicole

Joann:

Welcome... You will, no doubt, find a number of people here to whom you will be able to relate. Once you have, you will quickly realize how beneficial this site will become for you.

As you will learn, many of us here (and I am still only a rookie) have a number of things in common with you. Some of the women, however, have tons of experience to share - and that is this site's greatest value, at least to me.

Welcome again, and I trust your stay will be fruitful and pleasant,


Amanda

Joann,

I too know of the horrible pain of a spouse leaving due to what was revealed.
I'm right there with you. Hang on.

No, and it even tastes good. It's a regional delicacy that disobeys the rules of regional delicacies.

See I warned you about the food. Except for the Vegamite it will all go to your waist line. So be careful.
