Hi, I’m Cody. I am 31 and just starting to identify as a trans woman. I’m at the beginning of my journey and fearful of transition but hopeful at the same time. I need to be myself, so that’s what I plan to do.
I don’t have any support in person right now. And taking this on alone is daunting. I’ve been filled with self doubt the last three or so years, going back and forth on whether I should transition. It’s just difficult without someone in your corner. But I know I need to move forward.
I would love to talk about how to make progress. I can’t do this alone…

Hello there,
I understand every word you have said. I don’t have any in person support either. My introductory post is the first time I’ve publicly came out. I’m glad your moving forward. I support you all the way and if you need a friend I’m here for ya 🙂
Hi Cody, We are at the same point. I too have no one in person to talk too am filled with anxiety. I have only begun to make minor physical changes. I will be having a doctors appointment in the next few weeks and it frightens the heck out of me.
As we are all different and respond in different ways, what frightens you about seeing a doctor? Also, what kind of doctor are you going to see? An endocrinologist, psychiatrist, etc.?

Welcome to Heaven, Cody! 🙂 I know how you feel, though I went through my transition in my 40’s. However, I felt the need to change my gender seriously around 30. Anyway, enough about me. If you could use a friend, I’d be glad to give you whatever help that I can. You are among friends who understand your struggle. /gives you a welcoming warm hug. 🙂
