Hi all. I thought I might try and get the ball rolling with an introduction

I'm Ada, and whilst I'm not a moderator in this community, I am an admin for lemmy.blahaj.zone, which where this group is hosted.

I'm rapidly closing in on 50 years of age, though I'm not quite there yet. I transitioned in 2017 when I was 41. I've got a non binary kiddo who has just officially reached adulthood themselves, which makes me feel really old.

My partner is @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone/@supakaity@blahaj.zone, who, believe it or not, I met via reddit (may it rest in peace)

I'm neither trans nor fem, but it's nice to see there's a happy ending for all the paths out there. Big changes in our mid life are so daunting, even changing jobs can be overwhelming.

I'm happy that you're happy and that your transition brought you happiness. 🎉

Thats so cool! You look great by the way. Im transfem but i haven't done any social or otherwise transitioning because my current employment is in film and it'll affect my hiring. Its really inspiring to see you doing so well

So lovely to meet you Ada! Also, what is it about transitioning and hormones that makes people look at least 10 years younger?

I think that was makeup more than transitioning in my case :)
