I won't be delusional and pretend to be something I am not. I am Trans (gender fluid) 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

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. We have had times when 'getting off the world' was considered and know some who have regrettably taken that option.

Being Trans is no more a life choice than deciding to be straight and CIS, it doesn't make us dangerous, quite the contrary. As Penny I lavoid conflict and become softer, happier and a better person within our society.

My Partner is my rock and without her, I would be a whimpering wreck. She holds my hand (metaphorically) and teaches me what I need to do to blend in. She no longer accompanies me, letting me go solo, so please be nice.
