Hello and thank you for getting to my "BLOG"! Never did one of these "BLOGS" ! Facebook BLOG, I have too many friends that have had problems with "BLOGS"! BLOGS, Sounds like an uncureable disease!?
I am a m to f. I have been dressing since I was 8 years old. Like many gurls I started raiding my Mother's panty drawer early in life. I always felt very feminine and had many desires to be a gurl. My very first encounter with the male body came at the ripe ole age of 9. My best friend and I were modeling some of my Mother's panties and sheers. Robert accidently pushed into my butt and ohhhh what a nice feeling !! He felt the sensation as well !! We really became the best of friends and lovers for the next 7 years! Then came the license to drive a car and Bob was off and running with "Girls"! I graduated from HS in 1977 and joined Uncle Sam's Army.  82nd Airborne. Yep jumped out of planes that weren't broken!!! My Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) was 63B20. Small vehicle mechanic. I pumped gasoline at  my Father's  gas station.  The recruiter was good friends with my Father and he must have thought I was mechanically inclined!! Ha Ha !!LOL !!   My parents weren't very rich (monetarily) but we did have a loving relationship. I then took advantage of the G.I.Bill and went to college. I played college baseball&football (catcher& captain of baseball team).  Tailback (how appropriate) in football ! I was the oldest player on both teams. I acquired the nick name "Pa" ! Even though I was really a closeted "Ma" !!These were the longest 7 tears of my life. There was no such thing as DTDA ! 
    When I graduated from college I then found a job working for another uncle, in the beauty industry. Yippee !!! WOW !! What a "beautiful" thing in more ways then one!! I started out working in the shipping department.When I turned 23,I decided to dress f/t. The transition in the beauty industry was made very simply. Many of the people are either gay/bi/tg/ts/L, or just very liberal in the industry.   I finally worked my way into sales and then management. My Mother was very understanding and had unconditional love for me. My Father, was trying very hard to understand what happened to me!!?? From a tough athletic & military background to a very femine gurl. I was the only one with him in the hospital when he passed away from a glioblastoma brain tumor (1982). 
2007, was a very emotional year physically & mentally. I always wanted to have breast implants. My BF Bill,liked the idea somewhat. He always told me he liked me just the way  I was made from God!! Well , my surgeon wanted another x-ray before we proceeded with the implants. 3 hours after, he called me and said there was a lesion on my right lung that wasn't there 2 months ago!! I had lung cancer. The day before my birthday I had a lobectomy! I have had MRI's the last 3 years and have been clear! Thank God!! 
    Three years ago I decided to venture out on my own in beauty salon sales. I now have my own little company selling high end cutting scissors to hair salons. I have had two steady BF's during this time. Bill , my last steady passed away 2 1/2 years ago. He was very instrumental in getting my business off the ground.
  I have met some wonderful friends at / and through S/A's including Genn & Gina in Pa.through the Allentown TG group. I have enjoyed going to the Connecticut Gay Mens' Chorus social events. Bingomania (monthly) & Social Hour (held 2x a month). 
Last year I had the wonderful experience of meeting YF for lunch in New Hampshire. I was hoping to break bread with her again this year!? Hopefully, this will happen and perhaps I will get the chance to meet somemore friends from S/A's. 
  I sincerly hope you enjoyed reading my "BLOG" ??!! I trully enjoyed writing and sharing a little bit about my life. Have a wonderful time here on S/A's and write your "BLOG" whenever you get the chance. I've been trying to do mine for 3 years now!! FINALLY  !!!
