Michelle, I don't think you are the only trans person around here, I've just joined, but have been getting more interesting in the Burlesque scene after visits to the Magic Theatre nights in London and seeing the performances.

Actual performance may be a non starter for me, but I really do like the images and clothes and photography is becoming a small obsession, I do try to capture the performances I get to see, e.g.

Good luck with you endevours
