I'm sure my story has been repeated a thousand times over on this site. Years of guilt, secrecy, purging, lather, rinse, repeat. Fortunately, I was finally able to find the nerve to venture out into the vibrant LGBT community here, and never looked back. I'm in a wonderful loving relationship with another trans-woman and loving life. Being an avid photographer fit right in with being trans, and I love being in front of the camera (as well as behind it) .
