Hello my name is Lesley Anne Smith and I am a transsexual woman from Deal, which is near Dover in South East Kent, in the UK.

I am currently going through the transitional process under the guidance of the gender identity clinic in London. I am 52 years young and have the full support of my family and friends. I have been most fortunate and blessed to have so much support from my friends and the wider community, as well as my loving family. So as I say, I must have been OK and treated other people well, as they seem to be returning that several times over. For that I am thankful.

My grs surgery is expected to happen sometime in 2015 and I can't wait for that to happen now. Its been a long long process and has tested my resilience at times. But having completed all the assessments & satisfied the criteria of the "real life test," I am now on the surgical waiting list and so I will be a "patient patient" a little longer.

Well that's a little bit about me. I am easy going, chatty & friendly, as long as you treat me well. Which I will return like for like. Thanks for reading and please do come and say 'Hi' if you'd like to. All private messages will be answered and respectfully so.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year.

Hugs, Lesley xXxxXx
