Hi, Michelle.   At 68 years old, I’ve accepted my real self as me, after years of pretending.  Personally, I knew something was amiss all my life.  I Didn’t have words or concepts to express it until I was a teenager.  I heard an underground radio station share an interview with Dr Virginia Prince, one of the pioneers in the 50s and 60s and 70s.  Back then, there was no form of support to be found, and being trans was a psychiatric disorder, so I stayed as stealthy as I could manage.   But that was the event that gave me a framework to describe who I am and to start learning about myself.
