Hello

[Zach R]

Decided to move from lurker and finally introduce myself. 

FTM I have felt this way since forever, but haven't had the 'guts' to do anything about it.  Something that I'd research and then put it on the back burner.  I finally decided to make an appointment with a gender therapist and start moving forward.  I am over 30, have a 6 yr old son, and still haven't come out to anyone. For some reason I'm seeing this as more difficult than coming out as a lesbian!   

If anyone has any suggestions/resources in Minnesota I'd be interested in hearing about them.  Or any experiences with MN Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Thanks all.

Welcome, Arctic Wolf, you'll enjoy it here. I've only been here for a couple days (not that often at that) and I love it!

Hey man welcome to the site
I think you'll find that there is a huge range of ages on here, and a lot of us have had to deal with sexuality before approaching gender.  Here's hoping we can help you out some.
Good luck!
