Hi, I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I just found this group last night, and from what I see, I'm SO glad I did. I'm just beginning my transition. I came out late last year, and started hormones that I get through the VA. But very shortly after that I discovered that the woman living directly next to me is shockingly trans-phobic, and I started feeling pretty unsafe, so I stopped the hormones. But after being off them for a while, and talking it over with my therapist and a few friends, I decided to go back on them, and not let some 90 year old woman stop me from being who I really am. So, I'm back on them and I can't be more excited about my new life. I really hope to meet a lot of folks here, and if I can ever be of any help somehow, just let me know. Thanks for having me. 🙂

Thank you for the kind welcome.
Hi Willow, welcome.
I read your bio, and who you are resonated with me. I am older, have known all my life (I am now almost 70) I wanted to be a girl (now woman). Concluded about a year ago that the reason for my "want to be" is because I am.
In the past I always thought I was disciplined enough to stay tightly closeted. But I am at the point where I am concluding "what's the point of that."
Stories like yours help me to believe, surely I can be me. Even hormones look much more doable than they ever have in the past.
Thank you for sharing and joining us here.
Kindly,
Charlene.
