We are happy that you found your way here and wish you the best for your journey!
I often suggest to people that they look for a therapist to work with. Gender identity (and sexuality, for that matter) can be difficult to unravel as our minds want to work to keep our stress levels from getting out of hand. That makes it difficult to stay focused on what we need to consider. Working with a therapist can help keep us focused and working towards understanding how things really sit for us. But, it is important to find a therapist with experience in gender issues as not everyone has this background.
If possible, I suggest that you seek out local trans groups. The exchange of information and camaraderie works to validate what we are feeling. It also works to prevent isolation which is very common in our community. This might be a good starting point:
