<p id="yui_3_16_0_1_1535945875152_2152">I am a life-long MTF trans-woman. I have identified through the years as Trans-everything, but most accurately, I could be described as gender fluid. I am married to a wonderful, accepting woman who has known about me from the beginning of our relationship.</p>
I am fortunate to be able to be myself, both at home and in public, pretty much as I please, whether it is dining out, shopping, or just getting groceries.
I joined this group, to get to know about others like myself, as I believe many of us have gone through much of our lives, like me, feeling isolated, thinking we were the only ones.
I used to worry a great deal about being read, how people would react. I owe much thanks to my wife and several wonderful cisgender women, for helping me gain confidence in just being being myself and understanding that most people canβt be bothered with anyone but themselves and what it is they are interested in at the moment, let alone being on the lookout for someone who might not actually be presenting as the gender assigned at birth. Like many of us I do have concerns about my voice, and have had instances where my voice might give me away, but I have learned to not worry about that so much.
Carla....welcome to TGH. I hope you find out site informative and helpful. We sister are a caring group and love to help others forget the bad times and soar to new height of joy. I look forward to hearing more from you dear. Until then.......be happy and at peace.

Hello and welcome Carla,
I do remember thinking that I was the only one who had a habit of dressing in womanβs clothing. Even until about forty years or so ago I felt this. But as many of us do I placed this in a dungeon within my mind and threw away the key! Thinking on it once in a while only. As time went on and my thoughts and ideas of masculinity changed. So life went on and I dressed as time was available until I met my current wife! I was honest with her before we married and to this day I am happier than I have been in my life. She accepts me for who I am and supports who I am inside. Because I am the same person whether I express as male or female. So you have now found a community which has been on the same journey with minor differences but with the same feelings during this voyage of discovery. TTFNππ
