My Confession
I have been thinking about this for quite some time now, and realize that I really should admit certain things about myself. I hate living a lie, and I feel like those of you who know me by reading this journal only know a part of me. Yes, I did move 1000 miles away from my family to a liberal town called Madison, Wisconsin. I have always written about it in the pretense of going to graduate school. Yes, I did go to graduate school, but that wasn't the reason I moved. I moved because of the extreme prejudice I was facing.
I hope you people who read this will understand; if I lose a few readers in the process, so be it. But I feel I really must admit this so that you can continue to read this journal in the future with greater understanding. I have not always been Ann. I was born male. I was born Andrew. I was also sexually confused as a child, and in my late 20s I got a hormone therapy to become a woman. I moved to Madison to get the final operation. The reason pictures you've seen of me I look so much like a woman is because I NEVER looked very masculine. I was always short, and not good at sports. I am so incredibly fortunate that Stan stayed with me through all of this. I am hoping that no one reading this will hold this against me.
More to come on this topic, but I felt like I had to once and for all get it out in the open.
For more information I've gathered on my transgenderment, please look here.

I'm feel so smug since I didn't check the transgenderment link till AFTER I'd written my first comment.
The Stan stayed with me line was a dead give away! :P

Leann, actually I think Stan would've stayed with me even if I wasn't foolin' (and I'm not joking about that!)
I don't know if I could've done the same for him though...friends, yeah, but not lovers.
:D

Ann: I meant Stan would have known all along so staying would have been a mute point :P

Frost, Teena Weena was frightening, huh?
Aw, thanks, Anita!
Leann, that makes sense, yes, he would've known. We hardly have many secrets from eachother!
