Hello, I'm new!

[Allison K]

Hi everyone,
I'm Allison. Ever since I can remember, I've felt I was a female. When I was little, I wanted to wear skirts and have long hair with barrettes like the girls (this didn't please my mom and dad one bit). In high school I had mostly female friends (platonic only) and only two male friends, one of which was gay. I was disturbed about these feelings of being the wrong gender for a very long time (my fairly conservative family found out about my crossdressing when I was 16 and their reaction was *extremely* negative), but I've come to accept it in the past few years.

I started seeing a psychiatrist in the past year. I currently live as a male but hope to start dressing full time soon and may or may not choose to transition (w/ surgery) some time in the future.

Thank you, all who responded. I'm glad to have found this site!!

Ah!  Someone else who picked SAN from Princess Mononoke as her avatar.  That's a good one, and if you haven't seen the movie, put it in your queue!

You'll probably find the journey ahead one of the most difficult you'll ever do.  And the most rewarding!  Enjoy the ride, and welcome!
