I won't be delusional and pretend to be something I am not. I am Trans and have a supportive partner and close family. I try to live my life as Penny in public, not in the shadows or the closet. Since Flickr changed its rules more photos have become public and none of them are naughty. After all my partner and family could see this xxx

I am a member of a number of friendship groups - Meals Out - Pubs - Night Clubs - Quiet nights in with other couples (Vanilla lol)

Life is not always a bed of roses and evil people exist in our society. People who assume that a feminine man is not to be tolerated. I have lost my job, career, friends, and some family members for just being me. We have had times when 'getting off the world' was considered and know some who have regrettably taken that option.

Being Trans is not a life choice, it doesn't make us preditors, quite the contrary. As Penny (Pip) I lose my need for conflict and become softer, happier and a better person within our society.

My wife is my rock and without her, I would be a whimpering wreck. She holds my hand (metaphorically) and teaches me what I need to know to blend in.
