Inauspicious Day announcement

I have decided to counteract the ignorant and hateful attitudes being formally placed in positions of authority today by going public about my gender status.

(Do not adjust your sets; there is no cause for alarm; keep calm and carry on; the south tower is secure.)

The short version is that I have always preferred a female identity, though I suppressed this idea for most of my life because I thought it was logically impossible. (I was, in fact, mistaken about this.)

It makes me happy to be addressed and thought of as female, so please do that if you are willing and able – but I will not take offense with anyone who slips up ;-).

I won't be making any dramatic changes to my appearance; I have been on HRT since mid-July, so you've already seen how that's going.

There is much more information at http://woozalia.com/wiki/Me/transition , but please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. It is a great relief to be able to discuss this openly after so many years!
