Hey Ya'll
Well this is my second week as a post op transwoman, My Grs went great I had the best dr. and hospital staff. Lost 12 Lbs in the deal too . Iv'e been soo lucky during the last 7 years and the rest of my life looks brighter . Just alot of healing todo for a while but my family and friends have been there for me, and my wonderful fiance has been there at my side through it all. I see that this is the year of the transgender in the media and see that they still show only the controversial issuse . I just want to tell you all there can be a smooth happy life for transwomen if you set your mind to being happy and do it on your own terms nots what others tell you how it has to be . I'll be married in nov. as a female somthing i thought was beyond my dreams 7 years ago but there are real men out there who can understand and support us as we are so never say never life can suprise you it did suprise me .
love
linzie

Hi Ya'll Well 2009 was an amazing year for me .Came out onj the job picked up playing music as a a female just as if i was born linzie ,it very surreal to be at work or out at a place i've eatten at most of my life and have everyone just see linzie now . I've accomplished more then i dreamed last year ,I did my first workshop with trans youth at usc childers hospital and will be ding speaking at the collage level this year. It's all profondlyinflunaced my attitude and my approche to life ,The most important thing i've learned is that i got alot further with a smile and a positive atitude then a frown and bithcing . I wating for my insurers approval of my GRS in march and which either way it goes i'm ready to deal with it because i know no one can stop me ,just take it a day at a time with a smile and don't sweat the big stuff . I see lots of new faces and blank faces in here now and i see there are only a few of the transwomen i strated her with and it s getting less fun to be in the chat so I think i'll be leaving here for good soon . so i just want to thank dan and jon for this great forum where i found alot about myself and ciao to all my friends still here . Its time to move on and expand my horizions . happy 2010 ya'll Linzie Rell Gambo.

HEY ALL
Well it's been 6 years and i'm now 24/7 finally out on the job as a crane operator on the waterfront on the west coast. Real macho place to transition my therpaist discouraged me from doing it for the past 18 months . But being a boy 4 hours aday just sucked so it was time . As it turns out everyones been great to me i grew up with a large % of the folks i work with and still live in my home town so it was easier in that respect to work as me now.
I ral underestimated the kindness of folks in my town and on the job I have more friends now then i started with and i was a very popular male here . and on the job guys i mean burly macho longies have come up to me just to tell that they support my choice to be happy , so humbling to be treated with such respect as a person first . My life has been more then a fairy tale i have it all more then i had ever wished for and i know how rare it is for a trans female to have that so i count my blesiings everyday .
I'm doing what i can to give back to the trans community here in so cal . I'm pursueing doing talks on transitioning to collage age trans folks and i've started a biz. here as a personal assistant for others like me who need help with all it takes to function in the mainstream world . email me if you'd like to talk .
Fallow your heart it won't lead you astray

Hey all
Well Just when i thought things could'nt be better they just do get better. Came out to my home town crowd over the last month and boy did i under estimate the kindness of others. I have more friends then i started with and my life long male and female friends just accept me as a person first and there new female friend is just a new twist. They all tell me wow you look happy and i've never seen you smile before. Its my smile that seems to knock down barriers, Never knew i had one as a male .
I'm also totaly coming out on the docks where i work soon the few hours a day i crossdress as a boi now for work are just to confusing for me , time to live my life totaly open . I see alot on my fellow workd around town now and its not realy going to be a big suprise but these are the docks so it will be interesting .
Just had our 1 year annv. with my fiance and I'm inked for grs in march 2010 and our wedding will be in nov. I'm a very lucky trans female and i know it and never take it for granted . I just started my dream biz. as linzie i'm a personal assistant for trans females who need guidance on mainsteaming . check out my webpage .
So whats in store for me in the future seems nothings out of reach now so i'm just smilein and moving forward .
