Hi everyone,
As my transition continues (I went FT 7 Sep) it occurs to me that I don't want to be a stranger. There are so many me's in social media but I haven't connected the dots and, if something were to happen to me, I wouldn't want to be unknown here and have people wonder (if anyone would) where I went. I'd like people to know me, to remember me.
Social media wise, on FB I'm Heather Michelle Smalley (I'm friends with some others here on FB), I'm Wynternight/Heather MacKenzie on Twitter and other places. I play WoW on Silvermoon where my new main is Abadonna, Demon Hunter extraordinaire! I'm Wynternight on Susan's Place, the News Admin and Chief Editor.
So here I am. Hopefully a stranger no more, looking for friends, people to know, to talk to, looking to live, looking to stay away from the Bridge (see my story if curious). Nice to meet you all.

Edited to change the title as per my last comment. I wanted my intention on posting this to be a little more clear.

Being a Stranger
Hi Sephrena,
I've been here reading and writing for years but have always stayed kind of under the radar. I don't want to do that anymore.
Hugs,
Heather
Welcome
No one is a stranger here - we're all strange!

I'm not sure...
I can be a little stranger than most. :P

My muse suffers from insomnia, and it keeps me up at night.
speak for yourself dormouse woman!
I refuse to be strange, unconventional maybe, perhaps a little eccentric but not strange!

The long war
I am pretty much out in the open, but I don't talk about being trans, or intersex actually on Facebook other than to make the occasional comment about it. I'm actually ____ but write as Gwen Brown. I'll come back in a while and edit my real name out. About FB, make sure you understand how to block certain people and do other things to keep from getting hurt because there are lots of ignorant plonkers out there that love to pick the wings off Butterflies.
Finally after living as me since 2004, it seems that I have gotten over telling everyone in my public life and for reasons not clear to me, no one ever seems to question me, and I have travelled quite a lot.
I came out of a fundamentalist Christian family, and I doubt that they will ever speak to me again and it now seems clear that their absence might actually be a blessing.
I wish you well. Write any time.

Dying a Stranger
Maybe I should have titled this "Dying a Stranger" since that's why I wrote this. I don't want to die a stranger and have no one even know I was here. I don't want people to never notice when I'm gone.
