Bio
I am a woman with a past. You would probably think of me as a transsexual or transgender, which is why this blog is anonymous. I don't want you to think of me that way. But I do want a forum for expressing my history and the issues that still surround it. Those who know me, know me only as an ordinary woman. And I want to keep it that way, for that is how I know myself. Here, though, you will hear my secret herstory.
