    Hi EC. I've encountered technical difficulties, but I'm really hoping this is working now! I'm new, kinda shy, and and so happy to have found you. :icon_bigg

    Welcome Gratitude. There's a LGBT later-in-life forum that's very helpful as well (I'm assuming you're'later in life' as you have kids). A lot of people who've only figured things out in their 20's; 30's and beyond in there.

    just saw your age is actually on your profile :slight_smile:

    Thanks, FoxSong! Yes, there seems to be something for everyone, and I am really impressed! And yes, being an older generation, as well as living in a small, "antiquated?" community, I am somewhat reclusive and out of the loop. My daughter suggested I try to find an online community to try to meet more like-minded people, and I am so blessed to have her support!

    I'm presently studying my butt off, to get certifications I need for a career upgrade, and hope once that is done I'll be able to spend more time here. :slight_smile: So nice to meet you, thank you! I have loads of questions, BTW, and can't wait for my brain to have the energy to figure out how best to express them! Lol....I have realized that, after a lot of years trying to stay safe in my communication with others, I now find myself a little paralyzed....guess I just need some time to let it sink in, that I'm "allowed" to express my truth here!
    It's awesome.
