Banshee's Intro

[Banshee]

Hi there, I'm Kori. I've been hanging out in the IRC channels as Banshee for some time now but just joined up on the forums.

I've had gender issues all my life-- dating back to a stroller memory from < 5 years old-- and started coming to terms with things when I was 23. I came out to all of my friends and started down a path... only to withdraw in fear and self-loathing. Now I'm married and have a teenaged daughter, and things got to a point where-- basically, it was deal or die. So I decided to deal.

Now I've just finished up my initial therapy sessions and am slated to start HRT this summer. My plan is to start transition about six months after starting HRT.

I'm terrified, happy, and in awe of the people who have walked this road before me.

Hi Kori!  Nice to meet you.

As a trangendered person who has married and had children, I can understand why you withdrew and hoped the dysphoria would go away.  In my case, it never did.
