Nervously Saying Hello

[Guest Erin Quinn]

In all honesty, other than "Hello!" and wishing everyone well, I'm very unsure what to write at an introduction. But from what I've seen, everyone here is so nice and kind, so there goes nothing.

I'm Erin, I'm 27yo and recently came out to my significant other that I had always imagined myself feeling fuller, more viabrent and accepting of myself, were I to be a woman. And by recently, I mean, four days ago. so I guess i'm a bit nervous because I'm so early in this whole discovery and change in my life, it all seems like so much right now, I barely know what to focus on. Other than learning all I can (what an amazing site this is). As for the actual revelation, my S.O. took it very well, she was very thoughtful and accepting (we both have trans friends so it wasn't like she was totally foreign to the idea), it was very nice.

That's really it. I guess I could say more, like background and childhood and the like, but I don't want to ramble. Am looking forward to making friends on here, as overwhelmed as I've been feeling, just to have it out there is exciting.

Best wishes to everyone

Another texan! You know, (I'm not from there) there actually are a lot of Texans on the forum I've been noticing. You should keep an eye out. Maybe find some allies. I wanted to say "welcome " though. Good to have another brother.

Hi Erin,

Welcome to Lauras.

I'm glad your SO took the news so well, sometimes it can be a bit of a shock for them and not all handle it that well.

Hi, Erin, and welcome to Laura's.

You've met some of our wonderful members already, I see. Since its already lunch time where you

are, I have some pepperoni pizza and a big root beer here, and if Lizzy and Donna Jean don't beat

you to it, grab a slice or two.

You are absolutely right that this is a great place, not only to find the information you need, but to

make friends, have fun and explore how you feel about being you.

We don't judge, we like opinions, and welcome your views. After posting 5 times, you can send

private messages (PMs) to members to discuss stuff you don't want to post in the Forums.

You seem like you know which way to go. Good luck on your journey.

hi Erin

since no one has actually welcomed you as a sister, please let me be the first. You can consider me one of your older sisters, or if you want to be mean you can call me grandmother Allison. LOL I cannot imagine you being mean, so welcome aboard sis.

Hi Erin,

Welcome to the playground, I'm Sally and I am famous for bringing home made fresh baked virtual Double Chocolate Chip Cookies!

When you finish the pizza - top it off with a cookie or two - they have virtually no calories!

A fellow Texan, so Howdy as well.

I am so happy that your SO has taken it so well, good for you both!

Love ya,

Sally
