Hi all, my name is Meredith. I’m just beginning my transition and looking for a nice community of friends.
After half a lifetime of trying to deny the reality I finally decided that nothing’s going to hold me back anymore.
I tried coming out to family a few years back, and was met with such resistance that I tried conforming to their standards for a little longer - even got married, which was a complete disaster, but now separated and have found that the only way to live is as myself, and not be swayed by others’ opinions or expectations.
I tried again with my family more recently, and found that, while they still don’t like it, they appear to be more tolerant of me since it’s obvious that their traditional ways don’t work for me.
So, I hope to be here regularly and look forward to getting to know some of you better 🙂
