Hi, Everyone!
This is my first ever post on any site, period!
I want to say what a great inspiration this whole thing is for me! I am really beginning to feel human and not alien at last, after reading through your posts. They have sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions, hope and happiness! I discovered this wonderful place a few days ago. Until then I guess I was in a kind of in a state of constant depressive denial and reclusive isolation and believed I could never be a part of a forum like this.
I am turning 38 soon, and have been struggling with gender identity issues and anxieties for years, decades. THERE IS HOPE! Thank you for teaching me that! I'm bouncing off the walls with joy and perhaps finally clawing my way out of the endless black hole of hopelessness.
I want to share some pics to put a face to my words, but I haven't figured it out yet, as i'm a bit of a 'technophobe' with computers and haven't had the self confidence to look for, or communicate with people whom I discovered I can really relate to. I don't even have a cellphone that takes pictures, lol!
You are all wonderful! I'm so jealous in a good way of you all! I feel like you are mentors for me, and that if you really desire and believe, things are actually possible, maybe even for me!
