Hello everyone!
Feeling for some reason emboldened today I finally created an account, mostly to meet other trans* people so I don't feel too out of place at the moment. A quick sum up of my life so far...
My name is Lili and I was born male, though I have no desire to remain one.
When I was about seven or eight I used to play console games (Streets of Rage!) with my brother and always played the female characters, which I remember being asked about but not understanding at the time. I realised in my early teens this wasn't because I was attracted to females but because I was envious I wasn't one. I assumed it might have been an effect of puberty and tried to ignore it as much as possible.
I'm now 21 and didn't feel I could ignore it any more, so I told my parents and visited my GP, who referred me to a psychologist in Liverpool. The psychologist was incredibly friendly and said she'd been looking for information to help me for days, however the only NHS resource is called Abacus or something similar and hasn't opened locally yet.
To be totally honest I feel like patience in this case might be hollow as I don't even have an idea if it's opening soon or not, so I've been trying to find somewhere else to go that isn't too far away.
And now my hand has gone dead from writing this on a tiny phone screen so I'll stop.
