But the excitement and the tremendous feelings I experienced at that time, meeting another person like me, are still very vivid, so I think I know what you are talking about. And my first encounter with a female BIID person was ... with you! Know what? Before I discovered transabled.org, I had no idea women could feel that way, and I thought my craving for a disability was a gay thing! Ah, the way life goes... And, oh, no you are not a monster, I can testify :) I wish you to meet more and more transabled folks face to face over time. Hi Cath & everybody,

I hope that all of us sufferers are able to do that at some point. Living apart, alone - even with some supportive people in our lives - is just so hard.
