Well, I got moved to an Apartment building down by the river, here in Portland. So, there is a Transgender woman on the 4th floor with me, but I have not done more than catch sight of her as she walked around the corner.
Also today a Transgender woman from Alaska showed up at church. I have been asked to approach you and to befriend you and am happy to do so. I am not here to change the church, or right any social wrongs. Actually, the "Normals" are working very hard on that and it would be counterproductive for me to be involved, I was told. The Normals have a lot less to lose than us.
Let me be perfectly clear about this. I will be as helpful as I can to anyone who approaches me. It seems as though most T women do not talk to each other for fear of being outed. If you feel that way, I am OK with it. I am no activist of any kind, and I do not walk around telling people I am trans. Actually, I am not, I am XXy with a badly damaged y. I think this condition is far more prevalent than we know.
So, if you are one of my sisters, I will leave the choice of contacting me up to you. I do my utmost to live a completely normal stealth life.
Best to you
Gwen

Thank you.
Rhona, I had somehow thought that it could be you here in Portland, Oregon, since I thought you said that you came back to the US from overseas. Thank you for the kind words.
I know of a T woman living in Hillsboro, and one in SE Portland, but have left the choice of contacting me up to them after I let them know of my existence.
T life in the US seems odd in comparison to that of the UK, were I know of one group of several women who are close friends with each other. Perhaps I give people the idea on BCTS that I am an exclusive, stuck up Bitch. I am anxious to help anyone that needs it, but I will not compromise my life style to please anyone and someone did ask that. She was quite hurtful to me. We will never be close.

I Would Like to Add Best Wishes
I Hope you enjoy your New Apartment and it gives you all you want. I add my best wishes to Rhona's
You are right about the differences here in the UK I have friends that are trans and a couple of friends that cannot make their minds up. But I also have a wide circle of friends (I hate to use the word normal) that are simply people.
Enjoy your new place
