    Hello EC, just found your site, thought I'd pop in. I am a 46 yo bisexual transwoman who has only just recently come to terms with who I really am. I've only outed myself just yesterday to my 18yo daughter (who is cool with it!). I've decided that June 11 is my re-birthday, since that is the day I finally outed myself to myself.

    Kinda jealous of you kids that can acknowledge yourself at a young age, but those are the breaks ;-)

    Currently I have a 21year marriage to a ciswoman that will NOT be amused in the slightest, so I have a rough road to hoe coming up. But I have exactly 1 life and I will live it as I choose...

    Hello and welcome! I suppose I'm one of those kids who acknowledged themselves at a young age :slight_smile:.

    Kelly Jane (the KJ in my userid). Jane was my grandmother, Kelly because I like the name. Keeping my original last name, hoping the others in my family will keep me as well... ;-)

    Hello & welcome, KJ. I'm also 46 & had my first crush on a girl at nine. Before I knew what bi was. I'm still on a journey. Recently, I learned what gender fluid is & I realized, that's what I've been my whole life. My dh is also bi. I hope your wife will turn out to be open, understanding & accepting. Hope you enjoy your time here & make many new friends.
