So, who are we anyways

I've been reading and posting in the Transsexual and Transgender community. And because of some of things that are being said, talked about and questions that have been asked I find myself wondering who is and who isn't a transwoman or a transman. For me, because I am a woman who has completed her transition as well as sexual reassignment surgery, I no longer consider myself a transsexual. However, I am willing to help others to learn about transitioning by answering questions and offering comments. My comments are based on my own experiences.

In support groups that I belong to in my home city we have several couples who have persevered through this whole process so I know that significant others have their stories too.

So I am hoping that more of the posters in this community are willing to identify themselves and their connections to the trans community.

A little more about me: I am 62 years old and I did transition later in life although I have known since I was a child that I really was a female. I wasn't an xy male and had a female body. But not being very assertive I didn't attempt to buck the system, I only dreamed about being a girl. Although often I was mistaken for a female and accused of being one, I did try to fit in with the male population. In my early fifties I found out that my body had never produced any testosterone and that paved the way for my transition.
