I don't want to be a social piranha

[Social pirahna]

Hello all, I have finally come to terms with my feelings and decided it is time to transition, I had previously attempted transitioning when I was younger (19) and I failed, I tried to hide the feelings and be a "real man". I am in a relationship with a GG and she is very supportive of my transition, the only problem is that I have decided to start my journey to womanhood at the same time that we are expecting our first child. I'm not sure if I will be able to raise a baby and transition but I sure am going to try. I am content with the fact that the baby will always come first, I just don't know if I can go another decade without fulfilling my need to be female. I'm not sure what my fem name will be yet, previously it was Megan, but I'm thinking maybe Nicole, that's what my mother would have named me if I was actually born a girl, but for now I'm just the Social Piranha.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
We've all been in your shoes and can sympathize with you. having a family and transitioning is hard. I never had the courage to do it while my kids were little.
I'm older now and am only starting to consider it. If I can be of any help please let me know.
hugs
Beth

Hi social  piranha

Megan or Nicole sounds good, it has something sweet and after all, piranha's do bite.
Welcome honey, I'm sure you will have a good time here, finding all the support you need.
I'm also pretty sure that you can raise a child and transition, you're female and female's do different things at the same time, right?
Anyway, keep us updated and if you need any help or advice or just want to vent, we are ghere for you.

hugs
Annette

Hello,

I'm wondering, did you really mean piranha (flesh eating fish) or pariah (outcast)?

Why not use both names, I like the sound of Megan Nicole.
