Hey! I’m Asher! You can call me Ash or Asher, it doesnt matter to me. I’ve accepted being trans for about a month, though the feeling of hating my ackowledgment as a female has been there since I was aware of my existance. Im currently in college, living with parents. I major in music, and plan on getting four different degrees. I’m pretty clueless besides the research I do to better myself on knowing. There are plenty of things i’m confused about, so hopefully TGH helps me like I hope. Nice to meet you!

Hi Asher,
I hope it is. I too am just now coming out of my shell, albeit at a much later period in life. I have been a member of CDH for a severe yrs and finally admitted to my self I am trans. Took a lot of therapy and support from others to get me to the point of not only always seeing who I really am, but to the point of becoming who I really am. I wish the best on your journey. I felt CDH was very safe and I think TGH is going to be too! I am looking forward to interacting with all who are on here.
Hugs and peace,

Hi Corrinenow, I am a member on both sites. They each have different things to offer. CDH is a bit more “lively” and it’s fun to see new members and coming-out CDs experience the full depth of the “pink fog”. TGH is another level, although there are as many participating CDs here as trans, I think. There may be a bit more practical dialog here, but just jump in and see how you like thw waters!
Hugs,
Brie

As you will soon discover, the members here cover the spectrum from questioning to transitioned years ago and all points in between. It is also a very diverse community in terms of location, occupations, family situations, community support, etc. For younger and/or newer folks, it reinforces the notion that we are everywhere and doing everything. However, that is not to say that there are not serious challenges in the lives of some trans folks. Sadly, for too many, their lives are a daily uphill struggle. To me, this is one of the powerful things about community. When you need it most, and usually unexpected, kind words and encouragement drop out of the blue; often because someone has been in a very similar situation and they speak from personal experience.
Does your school have an LGBT organization? If so, I would encourage you to get involved. Itβs a great way to begin to get involved with the community and to meet others. Β Β . They may also have resources available for trans folks. The same would also apply to any LGBT organizations for the general public.
Also, many here have found it useful to work with a therapist. They are not going to βfixβ anythingβs for you, but they will help you to put things into perspective and help keep you focused on what needs to be considered. However, it is important to find someone with experience in gender issues as not everyone has that particular background or interest.
