'I started dating men for the first time at 47 - this is what it's like'
"At 45 I stopped fighting the truth that had quietly haunted me my entire life and finally accepted that I was trans. The shame. The denial. The low level sadness that felt like a dripping tap somewhere deep in my soul."
"Life would be much simpler if I could just be a lesbian. But no. Instead I have found myself bewitched by those strange, hairy creatures we call men and I have absolutely no idea how it happened."
"The whole experience feels a bit like fishing. Except now I am on the other side of the water. Or perhaps in the boat. I am not even sure where I am anymore."
