Not that you need my approval, understanding, or even admiration, but Gender Lines seems like a perfect transition for you. Everyone grows personally and in relationships. Therefore, we always have a need to re-invent, re-package, or re-generate ourselves in some new and, in most cases, improved way.

Gender renders us defenseless at times. It is a bender of the heart. It smacks us right in the fender. Then it sends us on a quest for some other lender who we hope can be our mender. I know this line of verbage is heading out yender (OK, I know it is yonder, but it didn't rhyme).

Anyway, congratulations on shedding your skin and reaching the next level of communicator.
