Hi, I go by Janet and I'm just getting started witht all of this at the age of 45. I'm trying to hook up with a specialty therapist (hard to do, I live in a very small town in Tennessee and the closest place is an hour away). I've known I've wanted to be female since...well, since I can remember, doesn't everyone? Currently I'm disabled from depression and panic disorder so my cash flow is limited. I have a master's degree in clinical psychology and hope some day to be able to return to that field, but my biological clock is ticking and I need to get things started. I'd appreciate ANYTHING. Sounds like a Jerry Lewis telethon, but I'm serious. We're here to help each other out right? Maybe it's unconventional to solicit donations on here, I don't know, like I said, I"m desparate. Anyway, there's hair removal, therapy, and hormone replacement therapy to think about. It's all exciting doing this, a life-long dream, and about dang time too.
