Hi there! My name is Stephanie Buckley. Some of you may remember me from CDH as Stephanie Rigoni. I was active there a year or so ago and made some wonderful friends; a few I even met in person. That site revolutionized my life. I’d been a closeted crossdresser for forty year. I was so nervous when I signed up for that site! Suddenly I was talking to real people just like me! The site and relationships also helped me realize that I am transgender. Within the past year I’ve come out to my wife, began seeing a therapist, began seeing a psychiatrist at a local transgender clinic, and now—gulp—have a consultation for HRT scheduled in January. I look forward to walking alongside like-minded women as we transition our external to match our internal. My next few months promise to be exciting, mesmerizing, and painful. I am so glad to be here! With love, Stephanie
Hi there, Stephanie. I'm so glad you found us here at TGH. Lots of women here got started on CDH; I did. I think it's wonderful you have started your adventure, and I know you will have the time of your life. Make yourself at home. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

Hello Stephanie. Welcome and good to have you here.
Stephanie:
I positive attitude makes a big difference. There will be some difficult times ahead, so that attitude helps to carry us throught those times and not get bogged down. It is a journey and sometimes journeys don’t always go as planned. But, that is no reason to abandon the journey. Anyway, you have landed in the right place...
