I’m ready for a relationship ,& possibly a marriage. I hope the right guy is out there,& if not I will look for a woman that can make me happy.

I'm right in parallel with you, same year it was that I started (fewer surgeries, though). I feel every word you wrote. Just going to say this one thing: thanks. Community-wise, few of us have given more than you have. The signed pride flag you & Kath sent me hangs in a prominent place in my house. It. Is. Hard. But it's been worth every second of it, partly because you helped me.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239730763553561973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521813469132348201.post-68820869350708193792020-02-04T16:32:27.737-08:002020-02-04T16:32:27.737-08:00Having listened to the podcast these past couple y...Having listened to the podcast these past couple years, and reading your blog, I still find it amazing that you've all you've done in essentially 5 years. I'm 1 year on hormones and don't even have a checklist. And it gets tiring. I appreciated reading the high-level retrospective in this post. I truly hope you get your spoons back, because I think you are important to those coming next, and in the middle of it now, like me. You've been invaluable, so thanks for what you've given back so far.<br /><br />I doubt I should do this, but am going to anyway. I'm trying to feel my way forward, and so I write too. I feel lame about it, but maybe one person sees this and will get something from my words on my little blog, https://shannyncomesalive.blogspot.com/<br /><br />If anyone ever wants to give me a shout out, I'd be eternally grateful. It's part of the whole "not feeling alone" thing. Thank you!Shannyn Elyssehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560134283645089149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521813469132348201.post-79406748027392712172020-01-24T21:59:57.811-08:002020-01-24T21:59:57.811-08:00Faith:

I’m 69, have been like this my entire life, but came of age when there just wasn’t any good information available, and fewer options for a young confused CD. Then marriage, jobs, child, illness, and later death of wife, all while deep in the closet, brought me to my current place. If I’d been born later, I’d have followed your path in a heartbeat. <br /><br />I wish I could lift the burden and weariness from you, so you could fully enjoy your true self more fully while you sprint towards the next finish line. The next best thing is to cheer you on and offer a robust “You go, girl!”<br /><br />You. Are fast becoming all the woman you can be, and I’m glad to be able to benefit from your generous sharing of the joys, trials, tribulations, and successes. You are an inspiration. No pressure, but please keep writing.<br /><br />Best,<br />RhondaRhonda Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880722627262140271noreply@blogger.com
