I have a theory about why I'm the way I am. When my Father came home from World War Two, I was conceived. I chose my parents, had my life planned, and was going to be a girl named Diane. Something went wrong, and I died before I could live. It's just not fair! I was stillborn.
When I went back to heaven, I was not a happy camper! I complained and insisted I get my chance to live.
In the scheduling department I was told that the next child to be born in that family would be a girl, but that slot was already filled. That one became my older sister, Jean.
The slot for the child after that was still open, but it would be a boy. At that point I didn't care, I wanted to live, so I said I'd take it.
And, here I am. A male with a female soul. Maybe I should have thought it through, but I didn't.
As a little boy, I would rather play with paper dolls than a baseball. Oh, I tried to do boy stuff, but, I was just never any good at it. As I got older, I was always more comfortable around girls than other boys, and that continues to today.
Now, I'm fairly old, and have finally decided to live for me. Now I accept who and what I am, and don't care what anyone else thinks. It's just a shame it took me so long to reach this stage.
You all know me as Paige Turner, but, I'm also quite comfortable as Paul F. Duvall Jr. too. I don't consider them separate people, they are just blended parts of myself, now. I'll answer to either name, as well as Noosebomb, which Wendy calls me, and Noose, which all my other friends call me. They're all me, and I'm all them.
Hi. I'm Christina. I live in Edmonton Alberta. I'm hoping to find other trans people that I can get to know. I'm still in the closet, itching to get out... But I have a lot to lose if/when I do.
Welcome Christina!
I'm glad you're here!
Hi Paige.....cool story....I liked it. But what does noosebomb mean....translate please? In the Nam war my nick name was "magnet-ass" for obvious reasons, along with Doc, Bac si and a-hole! How rude!

Ok, so I never posted an introduction to myself... Hi all I am Mia. I feel silly doing it this late. I am really excited about TGH.
Hi All,
I feel honoured to be part of a new exciting place to feel safe and continue with my journey knowing that everybody has pretty much the same objective in life...... to be themselves!.
I am based in the UK and am quite a way into the NHS pathway system to the point of now journeying through my real life experience. January 2019 is the next milestone as hopefully my referral to Edinburgh for GRS pre assessment quickly approaches.
I am always free to answer any questions about my journey so far. I started self medication, went through a private bridging service, started on the NHS pathway and learned a lot of lessons on the way. I believe my story is going to be published regarding my experience of using GenderGP and Dr Webberley's services in August and will keep everyone updated as to when it appears on the website.
With love and best wishes.
