42 here. In 2010 I told myself that if I still wanted to transition in 10 years’ time, I would pursue it. I still do but it’s a scary journey.

Hi Dee,
It’s so nice to have you here! I only joined TGH quite recently and have found it wonderful – full of lovely, supportive friends at different stages on the trans journey.
Please check out my profile to see if there’s anything that strikes a chord. And please message or friend me if there is.
I look forward to being a good sister/girlfriend for you.
Love, Grace

Hello, my name is Therese.
This is suppose to be an introduction but I have always had a hard time writing a paragraph or two where every sentence starts with ‘I’.
At fifty-two years old I live in Minnesota where I have lived for almost twenty years.. I haven’t lived here all of my life but I do now. Being born on the army base Fort Hood in Texas in 1969 you can guess my father was a soldier. My mother missed her family so I ended up being raised here in beautiful Minnesota. It’s thirteen degrees now and it feels like a heatwave. I’m tempted to put on daisy-dukes and snow shoes.
It was around the same time as my fathers death last year that I started HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). There was no connection between him passing and my transition other than they happened in February. To be honest I’m not sure of the exact date that I started. It was either February or March (I think).
After they divorced my mother dated a little bit and ended up marrying someone who could have been Donald The Cheeto Trump’s twin in all regards. He was a criminal, hyper-intelligent, mean, and a pedifile. When she left him it was an escape. We had to leave when he was gone and we had to hope that he had no idea where we went.
We moved every two years give or take a year here or there. The kids were best not seen or heard, so my sister and I bonded by hiding from him in our rooms. This part of my introduction doesn’t matter though. It’s a lot like any other persons. Beatings every day just because, raping my sister to show me what a “man” is suppose to do and be like. I only bring this up to show a point. I was to busy surviving and didn’t have time to really reflect and learn about my trans-ness till later in life. There were a couple of times when I knew something was up but I did my best to bury it away like everyone else.
Now, at fifty-two I am in therapy working through my own transphobia on myself and enjoying who I am.
Sorry for the long windedness and thank you for this space among others like myself.

Therese:
Glad that you found us and I hope that being here will prove to be a good experience for you. One of the most important aspects of this site is to let people know that they are not alone and that there are many others that share similar paths.
I am sorry for the experiences that you lived through, but the significant thing is that you survived. If not, I wouldn’t be writing to you and happy that you found us. However, while we can’t change the past, we can understand it and use that information going forward. Even though bad things do happen, it still has the power to inform and educate us.
As you will see from reading the stories of members here, some come to the realization at fairly young ages, but there are others for whom the revelation comes much later and others still somewhere in the middle. There is no set path and no set way in which we learn about ourselves. Stuff just happens is all I can say.
Glad that you are working with a therapist. Many members have found that to be a very helpful thing to do for multiple reasons. There’s a lot that most of us don’t know about how our minds work. When we consider possible decisions that have the power to completely alter our lives, it is hard to stay focused on them. Our minds will want to defer to a calm place with no stress and discomfort, but considering that one is transgender and thinking about transitioning is anything but low stress. It is also helpful to work through ones issues in some orderly and deliberate fashion and to take time to process learnings. On our own, these are very difficult things to do.
I see that you have done a lot with your Profile page. I encourage you to complete it. It provides helpful information to other members and will always be available if you wish to update it.
You may search for other members near you by clicking on Social in the menu and then Member Directory.

Hi I’m Danni and I came me here from CDH where I have been a member for a couple of months now. I am learning that I need some support from others since my wife passed away. I have always thought a little different that my physical appearance and it was my mother that noticed it first by she just accepted me being me. My wife was very understanding, and she was very supportive of my being who I am with the understanding that it was kept from the kids when they were young. Being 70 I finally I told my oldest daughter, one of my sisters and a brother and his wife because I figured that they could accept it or not and I don’t care what they think. I have been thinking about what my wife used to tell me and that is to be myself and tell the people that I love when the time came, and I was comfortable with who I was. I do miss her and I know that she would be proud of me right now for bringing it to light.
Hi all. My name is Tammy. I’m 48 year old post op MTF. I live full time and have done so for 20 years. I really love being able to dress and be my true self. I started dressing at a young age before I had even heard the word transgender. I knew I was different, so when I heard the word it described me. Funny how things in life work. I’ve been on hormones for 20 years and probably like some of you, I have great days but also some pretty bad emotional ones. I’m happy to have found this site and look forward to meeting new friends.

Hello! I am quite new in the transgender community. I started really deeply question myself 4 months ago, after I turned 30 years old. I had random thoughts of me being male in woman’s body before, but I was always able to shake off these feelings. 4 months ago these feelings just came knocking in and I wasn’t able to ignore them. First few weeks were awful for me. I was shaking and was in tears. When I looked into a mirror, then it was almost like someone else’s eyes looked back at me, but they were my own eyes that looked me, as I was inside the shell of this woman. Fear paralyzed me. It was terrifying.
Then I started deeply think about it and found stuff about transgender people online. Beforehand I couldn’t even give this a name, because I didn’t know anything about the term transgender. I only knew, that there were people, who change their gender, but that’s it.
I can trace it all back to early days of my childhood. I always felt like I was different. I didn’t really fit in with the other girls. I was fascinated by toy cars and trains. I liked watching how men in my family chop up firewood and even tried it myself. I have always been also boyish.
I liked running in the playground with other guys and wanted to kick the ball too.
But I didn’t know how to express myself properly. I was pushed into this tiny box and I acted the way that society deemed as normal. I saw the differences between men and women and saw how other girls didn’t play with cars and played with dolls. This is when I noticed I was different, but I guess not knowing what to do and mimicking other girls was a way to cope and stay in denial.
It all was like I was living inside a dream past 30 years and just know I awoke. When I truly realized, then this euphoria hit me. I loved imagining myself as male, but also with all this game dysphoria and dysmorphia. Just imagination can trigger my dysphoria.
Right now there is this calmness inside me. Mostly I feel fear, because I don’t know how well, people around me would accept me. I came out to my friend, but she isn’t that supportive, but she does accept it. Just happy, that she didn’t push me away, because of it.
My father is not supportive of lgbtq+ community, so I already can guess of he would react. Despite it all I want to come out soon and fully transition, even though I might face ridicule and hate and loneliness. My country is conservative and there is a lot of homophobes and transphobes.
I want to break this wall, that stops me being true to myself and finally be truly happy.
I joined here, because I hope talking more to other transgender people and make friends too.

Hello all,
I have been “different” for eons, like since first grade when I was caught trading clothes with a girl classmate. Mostly suppressed feelings of dysphoria (before we knew what it was ) by posing/dressing as a girl. Did marry a HS girlfriend who was perhaps more masculine than I. I was more of a mom to our 3 children than she. About 20 years ago she asked me to crossdress for her, and it did not go well. We divorced soon thereafter. My daughter was a teenage mom, and I was my daughter’s doula. I have been helping my daughter raise her 2 children. Now with some alone time, I get to explore. Thanks for reading this far.

Kay:
I’m sure that your story has parallels with many members here. Many of us reach a point where continuing to live the life we have up to that point no longer makes sense and, in some cases, is even painful in the sense of mental torture. I suspect that happens in many different ways, but I think the significant thing is that we just can’t envision going any further as we were. So, I am happy that you found us and that this will be a good place for you as you continue your journey.
I suggest that you create a new message in the Introductions and New Members section. There you can give a bit more detail and that helps other members to get to know you. I also suggest that you complete your Profile page as that is an additional place for information. The 2 places go a long ways towards helping to understand your journey, how it’s going and where you may struggle. Although all regular threads eventually sink to the bottom of the pile, the Profile page is always readily accessible and can be updated at any time.

Hi, I’m Sandy. I’m new to all of this. 47 years old and still coming to terms with my identity. I joined this group to meet other like-minded individuals and develop friendships. I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I’m currently dieting, since February. I’m not terribly tall, only 5’9″ but I’m down from 230 lbs. to 169. My goal is to be 145 lbs – slim enough to wear some of the outfits I see some of you wearing here. I’ve got broad shoulders. Does anyone have any outfit, clothing, or shapewear suggestions for someone with an upside down triangle shape, broad shoulders, narrow hips? Thanks!

Good evening 👩🏼
I joined this group transgender heaven this morning when someone sent me a link on Facebook . So I have been looking at posts today from transgender heaven. I love what I see .I am Sophie Demitra 61 from Southern California and I have been out since 2015. I work out with weights every morning and I practice Bellydancing and pottery. I have recently retired from public education. I am 6’4” and a very skinny 200 pounds. When I was younger I knew what I was but I didn’t have the words to tell people. Mostly it was because no one knew what to call us back in the 1960s in the 70s, so they just called me a freak.
I am going to skip a lot of things and get up to today. I am very happy with my changes and feel exceedingly fortunate in how it all has worked. I have really good medical care for hormones and surgeries. My friends and family are still with me. I have had a great support.

Hi, I’m Celina and I’m 23. I’ve know I’ve wanted to become a woman since I was little, but due to family I was always scared and tried hiding myself. This past year I’ve finally gotten brave enough to star talking to a counselor and have been looking for how to start my transition. I’m looking foward to talking to all of you, making friends, and getting help and helping others along the way.
thanks for the safe place to meet new people.

Hi, known I wanted to wear women’s clothing from an early age, around 12 onwards. But it’s only the passed couple of years (40’s) I have been brave enough to do it. I am a fit and active man and try and look the best I can. I love being dressed but feel mega guilty about doing it and even though I have let close people know and they have been very supportive. But I have also realised that the more I have relaxed with myself and been true to myself that its not just the clothes and they are not enough, I have come to uncover the truth I don’t want to accept, I am hoping to meet/chat to some people like myself, as I am honestly struggling to accept what this is and the impact on my life its going to have, but I know its the road I must take to actually feel some real happiness and self love that I have never had. I know I am not alone, but I feel like I don’t have the inner strength to go forward with this, I am bald and have been since 18/19, which was fine whilst being male all my life, but now its on my mind, how can I be a woman without hair?! I have booked in for a hair transplant and ill have to have two sessions, but I won’t see any benefits from this for another year or so and then all the time to grow the hair thereafter if its a success. I can’t put what I know on hold any longer, I have plans with my GF and kids etc and I keep thinking just after this next thing or after that, basically what I do with everything in my life, but I know deep down there is no good time or right way to do this, I know I am not alone in being scared, but I don’t know anyone personally in Manchester either who is going through this and I would love to find a community who can help give me strength x

Hi
I am Laura. I am 53 years old (well, will be very soon) I always thought I should have been a woman since the age of about 5. I remember vividly crying because I would never be a girl.
I dressed in my sisters clothes when no one was around and then as I got older bought my own, felt guilty, purged and then started again. I just made do with my male body and have lived a male life, but with feminine thoughts.
I am being true to my real self and admitting I am a trans woman and am starting to see what help and support is available. I am not thinking about surgery at present, but I would like to have a more feminine body shape and look.

Hi everybody! I’m Ella…
I grew up as a transgender child. My mother recognized at a very early age that she was in fact raising another daughter, not a son. She made EVERY accommodation for me, which included appropriate clothing, and toys. (The only access to girls clothing I had was my older sister’s, who was 5 years older than me, so they must hung on me…) This was the mid sixties, and I can tell you that my mother was WAY ahead of her time in terms of being progressive.
I had a very close friend who was named Gabriella. I absolutely LOVED her name, it was almost musical. I came down the stairs one day and announced to my family, “Don’t call me “xyz” anymore. I want you to call me Gabriella, instead.” I was 5 years old. My mother gave me the nickname Ella, and that’s the ONLY way she addressed me, up until her death in 2018. My mother truly saw me…
I didn’t know my father as I was growing up as he was serving in Vietnam. My mother failed to tell him that, rather than having a daughter and three sons, he actually had two daughters and two sons. My father ABSOLUTELY freaked out upon returning home. Nothing short of 100% denial and rejection! I was 6 years old.
My father wanted to put a complete stop to my gender expression, but my mother put her foot down and made two things clear; first, “you will never cut her hair!” (He wanted to give me a military style crew cut!) and second, “she is free to be who she wants to be inside the safety of our home. If you want her to live as a boy in public, that’s fine (no it’s not, mom!!), but inside this house she can be who SHE wants to be.” I think it’s fair to say that my father HATED everything I represented.
I walked the tightrope of being in two worlds until I was 16. It was the mid 70’s, and the world was not ready for Ella to come out. So, I made the decision to live as a male from that point on.
Well…let’s see, how can I put it? After years of depression, anxiety, suicidality, extreme drug and alcohol addiction, failed 20 yr marriage, the loss of relationship with my children, etc… I reached a breaking point. I just wanted to be FREE again, like I was as a child.
Two years ago I started seeing a gender therapist, asked my close (and progressive) friends to start addressing me as Ella, and once again acquired all the girly things I could ever want or need… 😊 I started HRT in November, and am working with a speech therapist to see if we can’t tweak things a bit in the voice dept.
There ya have it. Sorry it was so long!!
I look forward to getting to know everyone!
Namaste, Ella

Hi I am Bobbi and I hold the key to my jail . I love being a women and I wish it wasn’t so hard to just let my shelf out. I went for almost fifty years with out ever telling a soul . I never fit in any where in till I went to a Transgender Event and I was home. Thanks to Crossdresser & Transgender Heaven and Vanessa . I knew my whole life I wanted to be female I have a twin sister and at a young age knew something was wrong . I was called names and shamed so I got tough and went the other way. I joined a club not a biker club . After going to First Event 2020 I joined Trans Club of New England they put on the event and what a time. I have been to biker events and can ride a Harley like a dirt bike but it never made me feel anything . At First Event I got involved and I was so proud . Today I live my life most of the time as a woman and that is still not enough . We have to do certain things to keep our lights on. Thank you all lets live and be seen . Bobbi Waitt

We put considerable effort into maintaining this as a safe space. We have a list of people who have been banned over the last 12 months and it is lengthly. People are told from the very beginning that this is not a dating site, yet they foolishly persist. Some join to say disparaging things about trans people. They are weeded out also.

Hello and come to as a androgynous crossdresser from CD Heaven. And though my journey of lingerie, skirts, dresses and so much more. I learned one major thing from my 30 plus years of CDing openly.
I FREAKING LOVE IT and with the birth of the Internet. Showed me I was not alone in the world no more. With all my girlfriends from CD Heaven and the many new friends I am going make here.
I never have to be alone and in the dark ever again. Because we all have each other back. Though the good, bad and long return lines.
Plus this site is helping me help a trans friend that has no internet access. So they to know they are no longer alone as well.

Hi:
There is no time limit at all. I just remind people when they first arrive as I think that improves the chances of actually working on an Introduction post and/or the Profile page. The thing that I like about the Profile page is that it often gets people to think about some things that they may not have really focused on before. It’s a good thing to apply conscious thought as often when we don’t, we wind up in places where we didn’t intend to be.
That said, your situation is a bit different, so I would say comment as you think best. You could also talk about how your friend is doing, progress, challenges, etc. Anyway, in this virtual arena, it is one way that we can begin to get a sense of one another…

I’m Loki (aka Luci) and I am very glad to find this community! I identify as a transwoman, though I’m very early in the transition process. My journey has been rough and chaotic at times, but it keeps getting better the more allies and trans friends that I meet.
A lot of people here have a deep and long-standing narrative (when they remember feeling dysphoria or having certainty of their identity) that I admire and thank them for sharing. I’ve often downplayed my own because it didn’t seem to be relevant or didn’t make sense at the time, so I only recently came to grips with my identity (though it runs deep, not necessarily long). The more we share, the deeper we all become, right?
Anyway, thank you all for accepting me into this community and I look forward to our collective journey together.2 users thanked author for this post.

Hi, My name is Gary and I am new to this forum. I have struggled with Gender Dysphoria for about 60 years. I have self medicated on and off for 40 years. I have felt alone for all that time. I was married and have two wonderful daughters who have been supportive of me. I am divorced. I have always wanted to get help but have never been able to afford it.
If anyone can guide me please help. I live with a very compassionate woman who is aware of my issues and stands by me. I feel like I am going crazy. I have always been afraid to say anything to my extended family, friends, and colleagues. I always feel alone in a crowded room. Please tell me what to do. Love Gary

Gary, I am no expert and I am new to all this too. Like you I have always felt like I was born in he wrong body but could never say anything to anyone. What is working for me is to take it all one little step at a time. I started with wearing clear nail polish, then coloured. Wearing kilts as an “acceptable “ way to wear a skirt. Read what people on here have to say. Make some friends on here. Everyone is very supportive as everyone has had similar experiences to yours. Thank the woman with you often for her understanding and support. As I said, I am no expert but if you need to talk to someone who is in a similar place, you can talk to me.

Hi,
And welcome to Transgender Heaven!
We’re excited to open the doors on the site soon. We’re building a community to serve everyone who identifies as a transgender person, as well as their family, friends and loved ones.
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Just saying hi, I’ve been crossdressing for as long as I can remember trying on my moms “I Dream of Gennie” nighties when I was 12. I stated out on the Crossdresser Heaven site and loved it everyone is so friendly, but I read the article are you a crossdresser or transgender and there were so many things when she talk about transgender that I though thart’s me. I also have been watching a youtuber that put her whole transformation on podcasts , watching her experiences , made things that happen my whole life start to make sense .So here I am.I start my first Lazer hair removal treatment this wednesday and I’m so excited. Sure I will have so many questions and thanks for having me.</span>

Never mind. You already answered my question farther down in your reply. I have memory and attention problems and skipped over the last part of your answer. I humbly apologize.
1 user thanked author for this post.
Kellis,
I am so sorry you had to go through that torment. My middle school classmates ruthlessly bullied me because they thought I was gay, and my father shouted at me once for wanting to hold his hand for the same reason. I got very close to running away from home because it got so bad. Your experience isn’t an outlier in my hometown, I’m sorry to say. We have a homeless shelter for youth here called Urban Peak, and most of its residents were kicked out of their parents’ house for being LGBT.
For the most part, though, everyone including me thought I was straight and cisgender. I tried for the longest time to be a man, and when I couldn’t find it in me, I just decided for the next decade I could find myself after I had checked off all of my academic goals.
It didn’t work. I felt like a shell of a person that could only feel negative emotions. I bullied others who weren’t as ambitious as me, because I thought that was the only purpose of living. I saw friends as resources for academic help, not as human beings, because I didn’t even know what it felt like. Even my one intimate relationship, I saw my partner for what she could achieve, not who she was.
I am not proud of who I was. I was a miserable, empty, pushy shell. Dressing in women’s clothes is the first time, apart from being with my grandmother, that I have not felt this way.
I don’t dare come out to everyone- yet. How did you get through the time before you came out? How did you avoid going back in the closet to yourself?

This past week was the first time I have ever felt like a person.
How have others coped with being in the wrong body before they realized they were the other sex?

Hey there and welcome. To answer your question, I have dealt with a lot of abuse, in my family and it was worse when I came out to my mom to initially being bisexual and Trans (I am pansexual today and this happened back in high school). I was beat and almost got kicked out of her home, even though I was like 15 or 16, still in high school. What helped me was making new friends in my college years, who accepted me as me. They also had a Pride group with meetings, we even when to Pride, the year before last year and made signs that I still have hanging in my room today. I also, we to see my therapist in college and she really helped me a lot. I was in a dark place, and I thought about giving up on life, but she really helped me cope. Eventually I started talking with a Psychologist about my life with trauma and abuse. Talking with her on the phone really helped me as well. She did refer me to a psychiatrist since my old psychiatrist doesn’t accept my insurance. The best advice I would give and talk to someone that you trust and who accepts and loves you no matter what. Because it in of the day, you matter in this world, and you may challenges and always still love yourself as much you can. I know it is hard to do, because I still struggle with it. I hope that this is good advice. Also, do the things that you love to do, because it will make your day, promise.

Hi,
And welcome to Transgender Heaven!
We’re excited to open the doors on the site soon. We’re building a community to serve everyone who identifies as a transgender person, as well as their family, friends and loved ones.
Hi everyone, I just found this place and wanted to introduce myself and figure out where to go from here.
My legal name is Ethan, and I only began figuring out I might be trans a week before I posted this. It means the world to me that I’m not alone. I’m hoping I can find my way forward as a woman, as this is the first time I’ve ever felt free.

Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself so you all know who I am. I’m Alana. It’s great to be here. I just joined this community and I’m here because it feels really natural to be here. I just recently started to identify with being female and started to cross dress barely 5 weeks ago. A lot has happened recently that has caused me to question my identity which led me to come here. I wanted to connect with like-minded people, to support and be supported on this feminine journey. I hope that I can chat to some of you in the future and we can get to know each other better. I will be listening to you and reading a lot on this website and may ask you some questions to find out your experiences of womanhood.

This is my first social type of interaction with the exception of a certain female with whom I’d expressed myself with fully. I’m not quite sure where I am or who I am yet. My internal reality may have been created or manipulated by early childhood trauma..idk. All I k ow is tht I identify with being Female in many ways. At times it’s so natural and complete, yet at other times it is so foreign and I feel I have to throw it off.

Hi Teri It’s so nice to meet you. You have an important personal story to tell and I’m very interested in it. I often analyse myself too and I believe trauma has stirred up my gender alignment at different stages of my life. I am in the afterlife of heterosexual and monogamous marriage which became very emotionally traumatic in its later stages which has focussed my mind on who I am and am rebuilding my identity. I am very happy to come out the other side as a woman who I have loved and admired my complete life and I aspire to be one. I still have many questions to answer which I will do with the help of my therapist. I will have many hurdles to overcome to win recognition and acceptance as authentic self. But I am glad I have taken the first step on my journey. I hope we can be friends and get to know each other better.

Hi
I am Alexandra Love, a non-binary being who is exploring all aspects of life. I love to get out and present as a woman whenever possible although with a not yet supportive wife and 14 year old twins all locked up for Covid, Alexandra has not had much time for herself lately.
I would love to meet some of the girls here and maybe even find some girls in the New York area to shop with!!

Hello, everyone! I came here from Crossdresserheaven.com, where I continue. In adjusting to recent isolation from widowhood and COVID-19 practices, I discovered that a girl inside me enjoys getting out a little. She doesn’t demand that, she just enjoys private occurrences. My family don’t live with me but are important to me and would object to me coming out. So, I keep my inner girl in her closet. But it’s a big closet with a house, a kitchen, cars, clothes, cosmetics, an allowance, and a garden.
I hope to meet others in our community. Although I have yet to do this even before COVID-19 isolation policies, I would be willing as a cisgender man to date a trans woman if they and I would be friends in the absence of a date.
Since I have a comfortable established family life and am aging, I don’t expect ever to transition and do not know that I would want to, even if the opportunity arose. But in private my personality enjoys my hours when I move into my inner girl, like right now as I write this.

Hi there,
I’ve been on the periphery of crossdresser heaven for a while. Recently I responded to a survey-post that asked how I’d feel if I woke up as a woman. My answer was pretty different from the other responses, because I didn’t talk about getting new clothes or wanting to change back. I said I’d wake up as the same me, just in a body that matches, and that I’d have tears of gratitude. I realized that sounded more like someone from TGheaven than CDheaven had written it. So I decided to come over here for a bit. I’ll probably stay fairly on the periphery here too, but I thank you in advance for making me welcome 🙂Thanks Ann, and welcome to Transgender Heaven. It’s a good test isn’t it?
For any Harry Potter fans, I thought of another one “The Mirror of Erised”. According to Albus Dumbledore, this mirror shows the “deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.”
If you looked in the mirror what would you see?

Hello! I am new here, I came over from CDH, which has been such a great support network. I am gender fluid and 40 years old. I am a great big beautiful bearded lady and I hope to make some new friends here. I tend to swing more consistently to the female side of fluidity. I’ve hidden this in a male shell for long enough, that I wanna rock my lady side pretty hard! I am a loving and supportive soul, and I believe no one needs to take this journey alone. If you want to reach out, or need someone to talk to, send me a message! Off to work!
Lots of love,

Hey everyone-
I hope you are all wonderful and happy. I also hope this is the place in the forum where I introduce myself. My name is Therese but some of you may know me as Jessie (Jessica) from CDH. I have been exploring this box I had stowed away inside myself and found …well a lot. I am trying to celebrate who I am rather than hide who I am. On this journey to acceptance of and love of who I am I’ve noticed that the woman inside should be outside all the time. I mean it’s like your skin, your eyes, your hairline (unfortunately), our sexuality these things we can’t change about ourselves. This is the same (in my eyes anyway). I am a woman, a trans woman, a person and at fifty years old I want to celebrate who I am so I have begun exploring not just my gender identity but also transition. I’m going to a gender therapist, talking to an endocrinologist, talking to my wife, and talking to myself about this. Is it just me or does anyone else get huge amounts of anxiety over this? I’m taking it slow because it’s quite overwhelming. It’s nice to meet you all and I hope that I’ve put this in the right place and not put anyone off.
All my bestTherese

Hi Therese,
I think your post was insightful, who of us doesnt have anxiety over our transitions. No matter what that transition looks like, we all have some anxiety which I believe we all feel about differerent aspects of it.
Sounds like you have the right approach though, seeing a therapist, talking to your endo, discussing it with your spouse. Its a big decision, but you seem to have started in the right direction.
We are all here to support you, and welcome you as a Sister! Talking sometimes helps immensely, chat with the ladies here has always given me an outlet to vent and relieve my anxiety. Best of luck in your journey and if ever you need an ear I am here.

My name is Diane Renee and I am a Senior MTF Gender Dysphoric. I was initially diagnosed in 2012 and have been slowly making my journey on this fabulous, new path. I have been living as my gender self for a little over 2 years now, and have taken the steps for my name and gender marker change. It’s amazing, after reading a lot of the forum posts how similar our experiences have been, and I think this site will make the rest of my journey a lot more interesting and fun

Hi my name is Anne. I came to TGH only a short time after joining CDH in December 2018. I never formally introduced myself here at TGH so here I am. 🙂 I’m 62 yo but I’ve had these feelings of wishing I were a woman ever since I was 11 yo when I dressed in my mom’s pantyhose and bra. Growing up in Milwaukee in the 60’s and 70’s, there was no internet, no LGBTQ support groups, nothing to help one deal with these feelings. That and a very chaotic childhood home “directed” me to follow the “normal” societal path that we are supposed to follow. For so many years I suppressed these feelings as I was an empty shell living my drab male life. A couple years ago, I accepted these feelings of feeling/being female but I also live with the consequences of living what I call a life disguised as a male. I don’t know if I will transition but for the time being, I am going through laser and electrolysis treatments to completely remove this disgusting hair from my face and body. Whether I take this further to deal with the other disgusting male parts, only time will tell. Rejection by family and the thought of losing access to my three beautiful grandchildren is a very real concern if I choose to transition bodily. I am especially close to my 3 yo granddaughter and she to me. We have a very real and special bond already in her young life. In a way, I feel that she is me, reborn to be what I truly should have been all these years.

Hi Everybody!!!
My name is Breanna Leigh, formerly Brenda Leigh, and I have been a member of Cross dresser Heaven since November 2018, later joining Transgender Heaven. I just filed my paperwork with Circuit Court to legally change my name and decided several weeks ago to change My female first name from Brenda to Breanna, as the name Brenda brings back bad memories from the past. Since starting HRT four months ago I really feel I have opened a door to a new life and I do not want any past bad experiences polluting my future as a woman. Today I logged in to the site and I was immediately taken to the Choose your Plan page, and from there I was asked to introduce myself, so here I am. I figured it can’t hurt anything since I have not spent much time on the site, or the computer for that matter. My story is very much like everyone elses… I told my Ma and Pa a 5 years of age that I was really a girl, and they had no understanding. That was in 1966. Then again, when I was 14 or 15, they did not understand but this time they ridiculed and shamed me. I Cross dressed thru my twenties even living as a girl for awhile until I became a victim of a hate crime receiving one mean butt whooping simply because I was trans. At that point I decided I would become a tough guy and gain acceptance from my family whom I had had no contact with for several years. I pumped iron while stacking Deca and Testosterone to gain muscle mass, and fueled my anger with alcohol and heroin for 20 years. I eventually cleaned up my act and began getting my life together when a light came on in that little closet I locked Brenda Leigh in. She pounded on that closet door demanding I let her out. so I started reading more and more about Cross dressing, transgender and SRS, and could not believe how much info that is posted on the internet. When I grew up I was totally alone and did not understand why I thought the way I did. There was no internet, no support groups, no LGBTQ to help change laws to create equal rights. If you x-dressed or you were trans, you probably lived alone in the closet, not caring to venture out unless you were a perfect femm. As I searched the internet for answers I found Cross dresser Heaven, just last November 2018, and got some good advice from some great people. In no time at all I had a new female wardrobe complete with everything a woman needs, shoes, purses, coats, blouses, jeans, dresses, jewelry, everything. Next was make up classes, voice feminization lessons, I entered therapy with a great gender therapist and soon was living 24/7 as a woman. The next thing was HRT and interviewing for reassignment surgery which unfortunately, I must pay cash for. I am now saving $$ towards my surgery and hope to have enough saved within the next two years. And since starting HRT I have been a much calmer, happier more content person who no longer experiences the anger I felt as a man. It hasn’t been all roses, I own a small business and since coming out I have lost business, my 84 yr old Mother has dis-owned me refusing to even talk to me, and my one and only sister hates transsexuals and what I’m doing but still communicates by constantly telling me what a bad mistake I made. You know what I say!?? Screw em all!!! I have every right in this world to be me and I will loose NO more time in my life trying to satisfy someone else’s expectations of me!!! Today I am very happy and confident as the person who I truly am, Breanna.!!

Wow, Breanna, that’s is quite an ordeal that you have lived through – it brought tears to my eyes just to read it. So sorry about the complete lack of support from family, who should know better and would be better if they truly cared about you. I so admire your strength and determination to overcome all of that. You have rescued your own life not thanks to but in spite of your “loved ones”. I’m happy that you listened to the voice from that “little closet” and found the peace and balance in life that you so deserve. The world is a better place now that Breanna is in it! Good luck and best wishes on your journey, now that you are finally on the right path.

Hi Annie and welcome to the club hon. I am also new and older 57, but keep that quiet please. Oh anyone reading my reply skip thar part. I started HRT 10 days ago, best choice of my life. I am already happier and calmer, but thats my chouce and only you can decide if or when you are ready. Also married and had the same concerns as you about coming out to my wife, however i am pretty blunt sometimes. I told her i had an appointment, and she asked for what? I though about it for a moment and said to talk to a clinic and get bloodwork done for hrt. We are still together, for the time being at least and possibly the future as well. There is hope Annie, and believe me the ladies here at TGH are exceptionally helpful and supporting. Good luck on your journey love!

Hi,
I am jaiymelynne. I came from the crossdresser heaven site too. I have realized that I am a journey for life. to live to my truth as the woman I am inside; she must be out and free. It has been a lifetime of discovery. I know now that everyday I ignore her, is a day lost. So I joined here with the idea of meeting like minded people. With some experience to guide and encourage. To come to grips with the reality of my life as it should be. Coming to the realization that it’s ok. That it is normal, at least for us. And that is what I want. Normal. Not feeling lost or having something missing. Being myself and loving it.
Thanks for reading my intro, hope to chat soon.

Hello one and all
Like many here, Ive joined here today and know some of the names already from CD Haven ..
Ive been out for ever and live a mixed bag of fem/non fem time with my fabulous fully supportive partner who has put up with me for decades !
I have been full time in the past and for various reasons put my transition on hold and have been there ever since. Its not been easy but have no regrets as I get to have a lot of quality fem time and still have a little boy time too.. however I am still ‘me’ no matter what I’m wearing,
I like to think that I have reasonably well balanced life … but with a strong lean to the pink side!
Lovely to be here and hope to chat soon.

Hi I’ve chosen the name Kane and identify as a male. I haven’t come out to my family, when I’ve brought similar subjects up when I was younger they didn’t really seem like they’s approve so I’ve only told a couple of close friends. I’ve had some health problems recently so I haven’t been able to start hormones or anything, but I’m hoping I will be able to when I get better. I’ve pretty much knew all of my life that I wasn’t female, and always felt male but kept brushing it aside since my family pretty much made me feel like I was weird or a freak for feeling how I do. I want to do a full transition, mainly because I really want the surgery….I feel very uncomfortable with how I currently look, and honestly think I’m hideous which is why it isn’t my profile picture. I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me how transitioning is or was for them since I haven’t started the process other than therapy right now? If this isn’t the place to ask that question, would someone be able to link me the forum where I might be able to find that out? I’ve done research on what the basic process is as well as potentials of what can go wrong in both taking hormones as well as the surgeries, but there’s obviously a difference in researching and people so I thought I’d ask if that’s alright. Umm…since this is supposed to be an intro to me if anyone has any questions for me I’m pretty much an open book so feel free to ask. Thanks for taking the time to read this ^.^

I never gave my desire to crossdress much thought. That was until last year when my SO of 30 years came accross a picture of me in womans clothing. She asked me about my crossdressing. I could not answer her questions so I have embarked on a journy of exploration of my gender identity. I have allowed the feminity inside of me to emerge and is now starting to blossum.

Greetings,
My chosen name is Iason, and I identify as male.
I am 35 and have lived my whole life knowing I was male, but it was not until the last several years I was able to safely come out to close friends and select members of my family. Even coming out I did not have the ability to do so publically, and until the last month was afraid to because of my kids.
Where I was living till last August, I likely would have lost custody if I came out and tried to start the process. My family and I moved due to a stalker, and where we moved, I found out, I am not only accepted but safe. My kids would not be in harm’s way if I began the process here… and this is where life has decided to, yet again, smash me in the face with hope and keep it out of reach. We are facing homelessness in about 2 weeks. I am also having major health issues as well which makes it even harder. I feel like I am stuck in a dark black room, screaming for help and no one is listening.
Now I am trapped in a situation I am not sure how to fix for my kid’s sake, and trapped in a body that both is not mine and is falling apart at the same time. I am turning to try to find help at every avenue… I have told my story about 20 times today alone… and while voices answer me, no one has a solution.
Sorry for ranting, but I feel safe in trans communities pouring my heart out where I don’t anywhere else.

Hiya to one and all.
My name is either Niall or Gerri, depending on if I feel male or female, and how I am dressed.
I was born as a male in 1965, and a few years later as a female, as had two elder sisters and often I wore their “hand-me-downs” in and out of the house, with my parent’s say so, as money was tight back then.
I did NOT wear their dresses / skirts until my teenage years when I began to get jealous of their outfits.
More on this later, as just joined here and cannot compress 54 years into a few sentences.
Best Wishes ,
Niall / Gerri, xxx

Niall/Gerri, welcome to TGH! We share the same birth year and started knowing about our differences very young. My sisters never knew about my dressing and I rarely touched there things as it was a crowded house. But once I did swipe a pair of my oldest sisters hand me down jeans and wore them to school a number of times before being called out by a friend. We look forward to hearing your story and being able to share what makes you be you.

Hi all, I’m a proud parent of an adult son who just informed me he is tg. He is new to this life and its a new experience for us both. I want to support him and be there for him 100%. I know he is scared and has only told 4 people and he trusted me to be one of the four. I was there for his debut a few days ago, me and one other. He needs help with make-up but did an awesome job at applying for his first time. I’m trying to move to Seattle but it’s so expensive not sure how I can do it. I am a little scared because of the rise in hate crimes towards tg. I’m so proud of my son for finally coming out to me and taking his first step towards the life he wants. Well, I think that sums it up!

Hi Denise! I am so proud of you for being a proud and supportive transgender parent. As someone from a different time who has kept her own true gender identity “under wraps” for over 60 years — and paid the price with two divorces and a lifetime of denial and concealment — I am a firm believer in transitioning early and the earlier the better. Yes, it isn’t easy, but neither is trying so hard to “play by the rules” and ultimately failing. Every road in life has its bumps and we need to be at peace with ourselves in order to succeed. There is no support greater or more valuable than that of a mother. I celebrate you and your daughter!

Denise,
It is wonderful that you are supporting your son. My 80+ yo parents support me and even though I’m in my 50’s and on my own and it has meant the world to know I have a safe harbor even just over the phone. We do have a Significant Other (SO) program that I’m going to refer you to. This is meant as a support for you as someone who has their own needs in helping a transgender person.

not entirely sure how to start this so here goes nothing. I’m a 21 year old ts woman who’s too afraid to admit that I am obe to anyone including my closest family and friends. i dont have the courage to dress as a woman even in my most private of moments. I dont even know where to turn for support/counselling in my area and so I’ve ended up here where I’m hoping to get some sort of help/advice and maybe some reassurance cos the whole thing kinda scares me.

Hi Ryan, welcome to TGH. Just reaching out is the best first step to support. I’m from the US myself and will help any way I can. Feel free to private message me. In the meantime, dig into the forums, articles and groups where a lot of people are active helping each other.

Hi everyone,
I’m here to support my boyfriend. He came out to me a couple weeks ago and I just want him to be happy. I’ve been handling it all well, helping him dress up, helping with his makeup and hair… Doing whatever I can to show support and acceptance but today I lost it in the shower. He caught me crying and immediately washed the makeup from his face which made me feel terrible. We talked about how I’m happy for him and support him but I also need support through this.
I’m hoping to meet some friends who are supporting their partner through this also. Being able to talk to someone who can relate would really help. I don’t want my boyfriend to feel like he’s doing something wrong any time I get sad relating to this.
Hopefully this post finds its way to anyone on the supporting end of transgender.

Hi Ashley. You are not alone. We do have a significant other program and it’s designed to be a safe space for you in that is only for SO’s for the very reason that you do need your own support. If you don’t mind would you please send me a private message and I can connect you with the leader of the group.

My ex always tried to tell me that she is supportive but she never was, secretly she thought I was gay and I’m not. As for you crying in the shower and supporting your boyfriend, well, I’m going to out on a limb and say that yes you are being supportive, but might still having a hard time with this. Just relax and take things one day at a time, and don’t over do it. Yes we are out here for each other, and hopefully will be able to help you through this. Denise.

Hi everyone!
My name is Jennifer. I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2017 after many visits to a wonderful gender therapist. I have known since I was 5 years old that I always should have been female. I struggled with depression, anxiety, and just absolute discomfort with myself for 30 years before I started finding out that there are others out there that have the same feelings and discomfort that i do! However, this is where my story probably turns different for most. I am happily married. I love my wife more than anything. And I have three beautiful children, ages 6, 4, and 2. I began transitioning with HRT at the beginning of 2018 and found such happiness in watching my body change! But about in the middle of 2018, my oldest son came to me and said “daddy, I dont want you to be a girl”. And started crying. I tried to explain to him that I have always been a girl and am trying to be who I always have been. He started crying harder and begged me to stop. So I did. I love my kids more than myself. So I’m willing to stay in this mans body if it means my kids feel more comfortable. I am finding my depression creeping back in. I do my best to try to control it. I know my kids are happy and that makes me happy. I try to put my selfishness aside, but it is so hard. I have dreams about just waking up as a woman. When I actually do wake up and nothing has changed I cry. I’m hoping to find friends here, ways to cope, and a greater understanding of human gender identity. Thank you all for reading this. Much love!!

Welcome to TGH Jennifer. The sacrifices a parent makes for their family are amazing. But the act of taking care of yourself is not a selfish act. Depression is a serious issue and not one that is easily controlled.. It effects everyone around you including those your’e trying to protect. You do not mention seeking help for it. A good counselor helps people deal with this very thing. If you are not then I think you might want to consider it. We’re here for each other on TGH, but we are not trained professionals. Please keep that in mind as you seek out support.

Hi all, My name is Meran, pronounced just like Karen.
I am a nearly retired, but youthful looking Pre-op Transgender woman. I have been on HRT for nearly three years. A GG I just met suggested this site to me although I’ve been a member on a sister site for a while. This site seems more to my actual living style.
I’m sure I can offer advice and experiences in many facets. I stepped out in ’96 after a brutal divorce. I decided from that point on I was going to live as a woman, although I have dealt with many roadblocks since. My tastes in fashion have changed too. I love mostly everything feminine in the wardrobe but I’m more of a casual dresser everyday.
I am in a ‘sort-of’ relationship with a GG who I’ve known for over 5 months. I say it’s still on the verge of collapsing as I’m discovering several inconsistencies and excuses leading to deception. I’ve had short-lived relationships with men and even other transgender woman. I almost gave up looking when this particular GG found me and thought I’d be right for her. I may be, but is she right for me? So many questions!
Well, anyway, I’m here. Hope to meet some of you in one way or another.

Welcome to TGH, Natalia. It wasn’t that long ago that I was making those same first steps. Please remember everyones journey is unique and there is no master plan. Part of the beauty of it all is that you get to decide what is best for you and what things you don’t even need to worry about. Most of all you really should have a good professional counselor to help you find your own answers. We’re here to give you perspectives on how we handled certain situations.

Hi Ladies!
I’m brand new to this site, but have been on CDH prior. I’m realizing that I’m more Transgender than a Crossdresser, but fear has me still in limbo. It would be nice and interesting to see what I would do if I was able to go away for awhile. I don’t know if I’ve created a dual personality based on huge amounts of stress in the past. Maybe my fascination on all the things feminine on a woman has grown for me to want to look, smell, and feel like a beautiful woman. In Highschool, I grew my hair out. The longer it got and the attention to make sure it always looked its best, got me different responses by others who thought I was a girl. Funny thing was, I wasn’t wearing any makeup or dressed in femme clothes. It was my features; long wavy hair, long lashes, small nose, small frame, and high cheek bones. I can’t remember how far back I’ve wanted to dress up on Halloween, but ironically still something I haven’t done yet. This is me in a nutshell; thanks for taking the time to read this. Hugs and kisses to all.

Welcome to TGH. I did not have the supportive wife that you enjoy so please cherish that. I live authentically full-time now and have had the changes you mention from a year of HRT. There are other changes as well and you really do need to understand them before taking such a momentous step. Your wife should be aware too as it dies affect her. If you do get serious about taking that step you should seek out counseling. I don’t know the laws of your country so you should understand them as well.

Greetings. I’m Tommie Jayne and am 64, originally from Chicago, now living in Tucson, one of the most trans friendly cities in the world. My genitals were operated on when I was a toddler, leaving me with functional male junk and raging GD that I lived with in silence until well into my 40’s, hiding behind a beard and scruffy clothing. My parents simply would hear nothing of it and not wanting to get hit, I shut up and played along as best I could, putting my trust in spirit to heal me when they came to heal the world.
I’ve been living authentically for almost 5 years and on HRT for almost 4. My life has never been better. I’m more at peace with myself and people react to me better than ever and all my arts get stronger every day. I pray that all my transgender siblings everywhere will wake up tomorrow in places as accepting and safe as Tucson.

Hello, i am Christelle. I am French, I am 55, i ve been crossdressing since i was a teen. I have been married 25 years i have a 20 year old daughter. My wife knew from the beginning and was very supportive throughout our marriage. As of now, i was only wearing lingerie at home or at work under my men s clothes. I Always kept my body smooth and on Week ends, when our daughter was away, i wore my wigs, my shoes, did my nails, Apply make up and felt just great. Now i am divorced and would like to go further. I am not yet ready and confident enough to go out in public as a woman but this is my goal. I am seriously thinking of taking female hormonnes in order to grow a small breast and have my belly fat move to my hips or butt. If anyone went through this, i d love to hear about your story.

Hi, my name is Erikka. I am from a very backward part of northern California where I have not been able to connect with any support groups here. Not sure if there are any in this area. Eleven months on HRT. Gaining confidence with who I am and beginning to smile again.
I have so many questions and observations about transitioning and until now only being able to discuss stuff with my psychiatrist and my therapist who are great but not really up-to-date about trans.
hello every one my name is Lucinda, i also have joined cross dressing heaven. i started x dressing when i had to wear a pair of tights in a school play i was hooked. later in years my x dressing went away then came back again but stronger. i have now accumulated my own collection of dresses and panties,bras, nylons, make up, perfume, ear rings, necklace, some heels. my wife found out later in life and lets me dress up but only when our last adult child is still living home, when he is out working wife lets me know i can do what i like to do and dress up. i am already 1/2 dressed up and all i had to do is make up and perfume and ear rings and necklace and heels. wife seen my collection and told me i have more then she does. wife seen me dressing up a few times and talked to me about something and then went to living room, she will not help with make up or let me sit in same room as her and talk like 2 woman. well that’s a short introduction about me and how i got started . i do under dress allot during winter, keeps me warm when i go out side. but nothing like wearing female clothing and being free and happy

<p style=”text-align: center;”>We share similar thinking regarding others knowing we are trans. I actually prefer everyone know. I’d rather remove the elephant from the room and tackle and whispers or confusion regarding who I am. I live with zero shame or guilt and enjoy leaving a good impression rather the misinformed ones most have. Countless times people have approached me explaining I (and other trans women) are nothing like they thought or had been told we were. I tell everyone…”I live in a glass house. Ask whatever is important to you. ” That tends to put everyone on the same level and allows for dialogue to aid in dispelling the many incorrect myths that surround the trans community.</p>
And unlike a lot of transwomen, I don’t place high importance on “passing”. I sincerely don’t care who knows I was born Male. For years I lived in a fantasy land that all transwomen had to “pass”, no exception. Now however, I have come to despise the word “past based on how many believe like I used to. The term itself is harmless but extremely sad when you realize how many get all caught up believing it’s a must. I have friends that are having self acceptance issues regarding this one area. It truly breaks my heart to see my peers beat themselves up about it.I don’t care if I pass. I don’t care if I don’t. I do however, care about my genuine happiness and use that as fuel to deal with those who notice me and struggle with accepting it.

Hi everyone! I’m Becca, my husband is transitioning to a female full time. I came here in the hopes of some support. This is hard for both of us and our children but we are on the road to his happiness. I’ve known for 4 years, right after our second son was born. At first I decided that I’ll support him in every way but I’m not attracted to women so we can’t be together. After many years and lots of research.. I changed my mind and decided it was stupid to leave over a physical change when he’s still the same person. I have many fears.. for example, what if he wants to be with a man instead one day? ATM we are packing up and moving across the country where people don’t know him as a man.. which is huge and scary.

Becca,
Blessings and gratitude at your courage and careful consideration. Not everyone can find the strength and love to look past the transmutation of their spouse’s exterior.
I know, because my wife of 20 years couldn’t. Your relationship with your spouse must have been strong enough, too. That was not my case and I know how much pain and stress it caused my (now) ex-wife to even think of me shapeshifting, having lived a secret she didn’t know.
I guess what I’m saying is that I admire you for your ability to work through the struggle and taking the time to deeply reflect where your heart was really at. Your relationship was tested and you two came out on top. Thank you for your commitment!
Even if you had been honest and couldn’t go any further than being a supporting friend, I hope your spouse has let you know how much even that would have helped. It is because of people like you that the world becomes a safer, more human place.Hi Becca, thank you for seeing through to your husbands heart. You are one very special couple and blessed to have each other. We hope your spouse will join us here as well. For you there a number of other significant others (SO’s) such as yourself that are here. I’ll have one of our SO leaders reach out to you.

Glad you’re here! I am fairly new here myself but everyone seems to be very kind and loving. I am also fairly new in transition so if you hear any awesome or helpful tips please do share. One thought that i try to keep in mind is that I don’t have to accomplish a complete transition in one day, I remind myself to just love whatever amount of femininity that I have today and maybe tomorrow I will find/express more.
Hope to hear more from you

I’m pleased to meet you all. I knew i wass in the wrong body at the age of 7 yrs old. I came out when I was in the US ARMY when I was 28. Now at 40, its been a very long struggle to hold on. Ive been disowned by everyone that I know of. Friends, family, so called friends. Hopefully I have found the right place to make friends. I doesnt feel very good being alone.

Layla,
I believe I can relate with you on some levels. I came from a multigenerational military family, all but Marines, I seem to recall. I, myself, even enlisted in the Navy. Ironically, I was probably inches away from realizing what transgender was without any outside information (my education until recently has been the tripe circulated in conservative groups from the 1980’s) near the time I went to the recruiter. Lol.
Being now in my early 40’s, I, too, look back at the story of my secret self. My wife wasn’t able to adapt nor willing to consider it and I live in Nebraska, so no real friends or allies here. But, the world will surprise you. There are friends to be had here, no doubt. Welcome!
Hello I came out at 14 and again at 40. I am a transitioned transgender female. My records at the clinic say female. I have not had surgery, as an intersexual I doubt I need i. I believe in just being feminine naturally. There is no rule to having to be a part everyday. I have make up but wear it sometimes. I have dresses but wear skirts and women’s shorts and pants. I do wear panties and bras my bust size on hrt defined my transition. I am a happy camper but have to keep my eyes open about bullies living in the Bronx.

Sorry I missed this when you first joined. One step at a time we are changing the worlds perception of who we are. Bullying is as old as any other form of hate and has very little chance of going away as long as there are humans but getting it to where they’re more afraid to bully than not is an achievable goal.Hugs, Cloe
Just joined Transgender Heaven. First, you should know that I predate computers. Yes, I am that old. Which means I easily get lost dealing with computers now. Next, terminology is confusing. There are 100% males and 100% females, with hundreds of labels for all of us that are inbetween. My doctor calls me a crossdresser, because he is required to place a label. OK. I am male with a lifetime of thinking maybe a mistake was made and I should have been a girl.

I have begun this journey later in life (I’m 58 as I write this) than some, but still looking forward to making new friends and discovering more about myself in the process. My first experience being en femme (just a couple of years ago now) was such a revelation that I realised I need to be Steph. Hence my TG journey.

Hi All,
I feel honoured to be part of a new exciting place to feel safe and continue with my journey knowing that everybody has pretty much the same objective in life…… to be themselves!.
I am based in the UK and am quite a way into the NHS pathway system to the point of now journeying through my real life experience. January 2019 is the next milestone as hopefully my referral to Edinburgh for GRS pre assessment quickly approaches.
I am always free to answer any questions about my journey so far. I started self medication, went through a private bridging service, started on the NHS pathway and learned a lot of lessons on the way. I believe my story is going to be published regarding my experience of using GenderGP and Dr Webberley’s services in August and will keep everyone updated as to when it appears on the website.
With love and best wishes.
