Thank you for sharing your story with us, Emmi. :)

Hi Emmi, thanks for sharing your story here with us girls,i can feel some of your pain, i know what your feeling too. I pray for your peace of mine. Hugs.

Thanks for sharing your story Emmi. I can relate so much to my own life.

Emmi,

My heart goes out to you of how well-meaning people told you "boys don't do that" or "boys don't wear that" while you were growing up.

I fortunately was spared that tripe when I was growing up.

There was a time when boys wore dresses and Mary Jane shoes.
Those boys for the most part grew up to be normal non-transgendered males who wore conventional masculine clothes. John D. Rockefeller, Jr was an example since he had older sisters and he wore hand-me-down dresses exclusively until he was 7 or 8 years of age. And John D. Rockefeller Sr. was a strict Baptist who did not consume any alcohol.

And then some tin gods had it in their little minds to propagate those sayings above to the general public.

John

Thank you Emmi for sharing your story.

Thank you Emmi for sharing your story.

Your story is my story:
I sometimes wonder why people have a hard time understanding transgender. It really isn't all that hard to understand. I have always felt I was a female and I have denied it all my life but as I am getting older I have come to realize I truly need to address my feelings and I will always feel I am a female. I have many considerations and I have family who are near and dear to me who I never ever want to hurt. I just feel I have hidden my identity for way too long and I have been suffering all these years and though I have family who I love I still feel I need to transition to become the woman I have always been. It's not about the clothes. It's about me and who I am. I need to be honest and true to who I am. I don't want to die feeling like I could never tell people who I really was. That would be the worst possible thing I could ever think of. To die and never live as I felt I should all of my life.

- almost word for word. Ever single day that I haven't transitioned is just a reminder of what I must do. I, like you, am trangendered - period

I am constantly looking for ways to muster up enough courage to do it, but I keep coming up short. So I end up coming here mostly to see how others have been able to make the transition and learn from their words and wisdom - hoping someday to be able to tell my own story.

Thank you so much for telling your story. I couldn't have done it any better.

Just know that you are among friends and that you are definitely not alone.

:hugs:Donna
