Same “Kelli”, but I needed a new account. Anyway, thank you for the opportunity to be part of this amazing community! I believe I first started chatting here in the previous version of URNA, 2006 or 7. I didn’t have any friends but in time I began to connect with people who were “like me”! ? I chatted for about 10 years, then I needed to step away for awhile—5 years. I came back to chat in 2022. I was missing the girls! They are so special to me, in the previous version and of course nowadays. Love you girls!! ?(and yes, a few fellas too ?) I was about 7 when I was thinking about whether I was a boy, or not. A few years later, I found out that I wasn’t a boy, internally. I didn’t have a sister (one older brother), so of course, my mom was my outlet to beginning dressing. I bought my first feminine clothing at 18, and I was happy So happy! I kept my feelings to myself…years and then decades, and no one else knew about me. Eventually I accumulated the equivalent of 5 or 6 big suitcases full of feminine clothes and stuff. But I was very lonely too. I eventually had a girl (cisgender woman) who was interested in me…and 2 years later we were married. But for 6 years I didn’t tell her anything about me, I just thought I was “cured by love”, and for a time it seemed right to erase my feelings about being a woman. But not really, I was living a lie. I couldn’t that anymore so i came out to her in 2005. Make a long story short—devastating, heartbreaking, but also forgiving, but eventually no….divorce in 2009, one day later I became “full time”, and moved from Illinois to Northern California in 2010. I’ve never been happier! Last July i became legally Kelli Nicole Elam! Thank you everyone who helped me along the way, here and everywhere else. Hugs and Kisses!! ????
