I'm thankful for a sleepy voice on the phone that said, all in a rush, "I had a dream that you didn't know how much I appreciate you and how important you are to me. I woke up feeling scared that it was true and I had to call you before you left for your run. Is that stupid? Please don't think it's stupid."

I'm thankful for the happiness in my heart and the big, dumb grin on my face.

I'm thankful for finding this website and for being welcomed by the people who've offered support and advice (and taught me how to post a picture). Posting here gives me an opportunity to sort out my thoughts in a way I haven't been familiar with in the past and I'm finding it surprisingly effective. I sometimes felt a bit silly having such a school kid crush but as time goes on I feel more and more as if I'm really going somewhere with this woman. It's kind of a relief to be able to sort out the new experience here before doing it with face to face friends. My oldest friends (a husband and wife) have been extremely encouraging and supportive but we're all busy people and don't see one another as often as I'd like. Being able to chat with new friends here has been a real pleasure.

I'm thankful, as a transman, for being welcomed here. There was zero acceptance for transpeople when I transitioned in my 20's. It was harder for transwomen (still is IMHO) but transguys had it rough too. Most of us had to make things up as we went along and hope it wouldn't get us killed, or worse. I can remember getting my first T illegally in Tijuana. Everyone knew at least one guy who died of heart failure because no one could (or would) provide the right info about dosage. 25+ years later it never ceases to amaze me that I'm living in the opposite end of that world. My hat's off to the moderators and admins who make this website, and others like it, possible.
