Hey!
As you can see, my name is Nicole. I've been lurking around for a while now but never bothered to make an account. I just started my transition a few weeks ago and started HRT this past week, so I figured I'd might as well get it over with and actually join the community
.
Well, I guess you might want to know a bit about me. I'm 21 years old and I'm MtF transgendered. I've felt this way as early as kindergarten, but more seriously since early puberty. I didn't really come to accept it, myself, until later in puberty and even then was too afraid to tell anyone until just weeks ago. What led me to coming out was one of the most depressing weeks of my life which occurred while vacationing at the "happiest place on Earth", Disney Land. I tried to have a good time, but I hated being around so many people while not feeling like who I should be. I had a bit of a breakdown that finally pushed me to the edge and I told my psychologist. His reaction was so positive that I went home and later that evening told both of my parents, whose reactions were also outstandingly positive! I've now told my closer friends, my brother, and my sister-in-law. Everyone has been super supportive, and it's super, super amazing, although I've been having some slight problems with my sister-in-law, unfortunately. Hopefully she'll come around with time. Regardless, my only regret is not doing this sooner! I started HRT last week and I've been feeling much better since; things aren't getting worse anymore. Well, other than seaming to be constantly hungry...not that I mind that, I'm pretty much a beanpole at the moment! Can't wait to get some curves

Anyway, enough rambling! I just want to thank you, the incredible members of this community. Susan's is an amazing resource and is full of information and inspiring stories and has helped me greatly! Soooo, yeah. Hi!
