Okay - its finally time to fill this profile out. I'm a: gender queer, pre-op woman with a transsexual birth defect. For those of you who don't know what transsexual birth defect means, I might not be your type. If I'm not, please feel free to move, but don't send me nasty messages (as some users have) and say nasty things. Just live your life and I'll live mine. For those who are still interested, I am currently in treatment to correct the physical defects, but have already completed my legal transition.

Now that the big question is out of the way, check out the rest of my profile :-)

As my name implies, I love history - I started dressing up in historic costumes when I was very young. When I was 14, I began volunteering at a local open air museum and continue to do so. I also do independent demonstrations at various local events. Yes, I do my demonstrations as myself - while there aren't many trans-spectrum reenactors, there are a few of us. The community where I volunteer has been wonderfully supportive.

I currently work at a local non-profit as a grant writer and advocate, but it is my life's goal to open or administer a living history site.

I'm into lots things outdoors - I am a blacksmith, hiker, camper and have a dream of doing the Appalachian Trail in three parts. I'm a life-long resident of the Pioneer Valley, having been born in the southern Valley and moving up into the central valley a few years ago. I also love movies, books, games (although I am not a gamer)

Well, I think that's a good start for this thing. I'm very relaxed and easy going, so feel free to ask any questions you might have. If you ask nicely, I'll be sure to respond nicely :-)
