Glad you did too. It's so wonderful when you find your real self, isn't it?

I've commented it's really good at installing "auntbea.exe" into the transgirl brain.

And yeah, I did the exact same thing when I first read it as well

*Smile*. As a sword-fighting trans woman, I tend to agree with you. A woman with a sword is simply <3

My Saturday spent rapier fighting in the SCA. In case you decide that you want to continue to have fun with swords.

And there are more than a few of us here. :)
