In Which Milla Introduces Herself - 04/05/06 12:12 PM
Cutesy logo with smart-alecky tagline and matching domain name. Check! Fancy three-column layout. Check! Eye-soothing pastels. Check. Introductory weblog entry... damn.
I'm Milla, a 31-year old transgendered woman. "Transgendered" is an umbrella term that describes people whose sex, gender identity, and/or assigned gender don't match, or don't conform to society's girl/boy binary. In my case, I was born with both sets of parts, more or less. I'm intersexed.
I was operated on at birth, declared a boy, and raised that way. Well, mostly. Today I'm living in Wisconsin as a woman with my partner, who is also female. (I'll call her C from now on.) She's what is known in the transgender community as a "GG", or "genetic girl."
But much more about that to follow. Here at Transgurl.com, I plan to write about my past and future experiences in correcting my sex and gender, and the unusual situations I find myself in.
Hopefully I'll be writing at least a few times a week, ideally once a day, so check back often. And hey, if you enjoy the site, help a sista out (see left). Thanks!
