One of the joys of BC/TS is the interaction and encouragement.

In so many ways that wonderful support and encouragement that I, and I'm sure so many others, have received here has been instrumental in helping me truly accept who I am, and allowing me to properly start on my path through transition. Erin's insistence on a Friendly Place, whilst frequently stressful and traumatic for her and her team to police, has made a huge difference to so many of us at various stages of our journey.

Erin, Sephrena and all of you - we can never say it enough - Thank you.

I would also like to add my heartfelt thanks to Nancy's to all who have commented and PM'd on our tale. I'm only sorry that we have often lacked the time to reply personally to each of you as we so wanted to.

As for the use of the phrase 'piss ant colonial'!!!

No one who has served her country as Nancy has deserves that soubriquet; therefore please ignore her earlier remark and enjoy our collaborative story as the gift it is meant to be (and if any should spot the occasional spelling mistake with UK and US phrases intermixed, please remember that Microsoft spell checkers really throw a wobbly when "Two peoples, separated by a common language" collaborate).
