My first inkling of being "different" was at age 5. Suggesting to a group of kids that we play Snow White, and that I'd happily play the title character was not something well received by other kids (or nearby listening parents) in the 1950s. Snippets of my difference occurred at various points throughout my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. As a naive 5 year old, I would often cry myself to sleep hoping that I would awaken to find that I was now a girl. There was a short period when I (Joanne) was able to take the big leap and venture outside. Being out in public was an experience I'll never forget and reflects a time I'll truly regret for its short duration. The highlight was having a construction worker call down "Hi" to me, as I was walking by. He'll never know what a huge compliment he paid me. I rode that "high" for weeks! If my situation allowed it, I would grant that naive 5 year old's wish and make the transition. Alas, that isn't possible. By joining this community, I hope to gain companionship. Meeting over coffee, going to a movie, and/or walking in a park all appeal to me. I find that I crave the company of those who share this hunger, this ache, and (like me) desperately want the opportunity to let our femininity be seen and (hopefully) appreciated. So...Hi, I'm Joanne
