Firstly, I just want to say a huge thank you for this post. As I was reading it, it made me very emotional. so many things that you described I have also felt and since becoming a member I have realised that this is an experience shared by so many. For the first time in my life I don't feel alone. I have wanted to hide away, in complete denial. Burying my head in sand. But I'm here now, and ready to actually start living my life 😁
much love and respect

Hi Cynthia
What a wonderful welcome and a lovely site too. Like many I'm struggling to communicate my feelings after years of suppressing them but there is so much here that I find myself nodding 'Yep that's me' to.
None of us is doing anything alone in the Interweb Age unless we choose to and groups like this can only make us happier.
Be Safe Everybody.
Hi Cynthia,
Thank you for your warm welcome and also for sharing. I am dipping my toe and trying to learn to navigate this wonderful site. I have not until now joined any other site, so this is all new to me.
I’m very fortunate to have the support of a very loving partner, who didn’t have a problem when I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria ten. years ago. I have had her support even when I started hormone therapy.
A few close friends are aware of who I really am, but I seldom reveal Jane to the world. I live in a very rural area, and while that certainly has its advantages, it can also be rather limiting.
Thank you again Cynthia
Ha Cyn , i have been on this site for over a year and i do appreciate your input . Thanks for your kind words and support . You are wonderful . Leslie
Dear Cyn,
I completely understand what you are saying. As someone who was in the exact same position, I found that my feelings evolved several months after I told my wife of 43 years. I began to actually break down into tears when the time came to return to "male mode". My therapist said that I was moving up the scale of being transgender. I had never had much in the way of gender dysphoria in the past but that was changing rapidly. when I began to experience suicidal thoughts I was immediately referred to a psychiatrist. He determined that the only way to stop these thoughts was for me to transition to being a woman. Now after six months I have satisfied my doctor's concerns about my other health issues being controlled. So I wi e starting HRT shortly. I'm So excited and scared at the same time. My wife is not accepting this well. I hope that we can work things out and stay married.
Hi,
I just wanted to say hello. I'm Grace and I've just started my trans journey. I would love to connect with others.
Love to all,
Grace
