Hi everybody. I have been reading BigCloset TopShelf for awhile, and occasionally commenting on some of the stories for a shorter while. So I decided to tell anybody that is interested about this silly person that is me.

First, to avoid just repeating stuff that I have written elsewhere, here is the link to a tiny website that I set up back in 2003 through my ISP: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7yom8/index.html

The button at that site labeled My Past goes to the page that gives a brief synopsis of how I got where I am today. There is one change that I haven't edited into it yet . My long-distance boyfriend of five and one-half years broke up with me on December 19. There were a lot of barriers between us, and he said that he felt it was hurting me rather than helping me for me to keep clinging to the hope of our relationship ever becoming more. The barriers included a significant age difference, a large geographical distance, and the fact that he (by his own assessment) lives in a country where the culture is very macho and chauvinistic. He may be right, but I am still hurting some from the break-up. It is slowly getting better though.

I am living as myself, but still have not had SRS, or some other things that take a chunk of money. The HRT has been very kind to me and I have gotten changes that I didn’t really dare expect. Including some that I can’t explain. But then, there has always been something odd about me. I suspect that I had more (hidden) female features than “just” my brain all along.

One reason I say that, that I will go into here, is that I had a series of x-rays in 2008 to check on whether all of a kidney stone had been successfully removed. I got to keep a copy of the x-rays. One of the sheets shows my pelvic girdle skeletal structure. The structure looks exactly like that you would expect of an XX woman that had developed normally ... True, I had been on HRT for five and one-half years by then, but according to the medical community, HRT doesn't affect bone structure.

Well, I guess I’ll close this ramble now. Take care of yourselves. *hugs you all*
