Sophia:
What a great story. Very inspiring. With your kind of courage to just jump in, I expect we'll soon be hearing of you flying there en femme. If you want courage on that front, a trailblazer for us is Kimberly. See: http://kimberlyhuddle.blogspot.com/
Now that you've started, don't stop. Being femme is delicious.
Best regards,
Rhonda
