Reply To: When did you start to suspect you needed to transition

[Kayla Olson]

I started dressing in pantyhose, heels, bras and panties at age 11. Prior to that there was a feminine side that existed but it would remain dormant until it could nurtured and fully blossom but would not blossom. Unfortunately for me the circumstances would not be aligned until I left the navy where I could freely and unashamedly become my true self. Although I am late to the transition party at 46, I met with a therapist for the first time yesterday and now am looking forward to starting my journey to something beautiful.
