What a long and winding road to get to this point. Originally I found this board and was glad to simply talk with other gals about all things CD, which made me curious why there is a TS board here since the name is "crossdressers" lol. Even though I don't have much interest in CD'ing compared to my past as it doesn't satisfy me by just putting on wonderful clothing items, I identify with being female in a far stronger way in many situations in life. Satisfying would be living as my real self, not in this flat, depressed state of hiding my inner me. I'm sure many of you can relate.
I have read so many of your stories and topics and am moved by your situations and your grit to make the decision to transition, it's a tough thing to endure. So many questions, so many fears, so much at stake.
Went for my first gender therapy today with a WONDERFUL counselor who specializes in all things gender. I could not have asked for a better person on planet earth to be in the room! What a relief!
Have an appointment for blood tests next week. I simply can't believe this is happening, and it's happening quickly. Then again, 40+ years of not being truly open about "me" means any progress happens quickly I presume.
Wow, I have many decisions to make in the near future it's making my head spin! My palms are sweatty just thinking about the gravity of everything! I keep praying to God this all becomes clear. I keep reading your posts here, they are a source of enlightenment and courage to push through. Thank you so much for sharing all your experiences!!
I'm TS. I'm a trans gender woman. There, I said it, finally. I've drowned it out with overeating, depression, noise, anxiety and fear for 4 decades. No more. Time to, as they say, move forward.
Now I know why there is a TS board on a CD forum, there are many great people are here.
