Hi, I’ m Carol a newbe. Happy New Year to you all. Being 73 yrs young over here in the UK. for me the knowledge that I should have been a girl was always there. It was brought home to me aged just 6 when I saw a little girl parading quite proudly in her new best dress wearing a badge which said on it I am 7 years old today. That’s when I knew what was “wrong” with me. That was 1954 and here nothing was ever mentioned about sex, sexuality or anything even remotely pertaining to the subject. I knew to never EVER mention my feelings to anyone. My father was then a soldier of the Queen and he had some ideas about how my life would proceed. Naturally those ideas included at least some soldiering My mother expected me to follow her family’s profession, all her family were in the Navy Royal and Merchant. Tough duty for someone with my feelings. I ended up in the navy aged 15 and a 1/2 Neither of my parents saw me off when I went off to training school. Hey-Ho! Yes it is tough for a kid who doesn’t fit the pigeon hole so carefully selected by parents.
