I am transexual. I've known it all my life, but I waited a long time to really start to do anything about it. GD was rough on me in the last year. I wasn't able to function properly. I'm on HRT, for my own reasons. What led me here I would not wish on anybody, and what lays ahead may not be a picnic either. If dressing/presenting female keeps you happy, stay the hell away from hormones. You are just as much a woman, and just as valid, in our community, or any other, without them. For me they are the last resort.
