First off, thanks so much for this wonderful community. While deciphering exactly how at odds my body and mind are with one another, this forum and linked resources have been invaluable. And while ultimately it took the blessing of a caring and gifted therapist to help me tear down the wall of shame and denial, having a space of open discussion helped me through many questions and insecurities. So now this long time lurker is actually registered and ready to become an active part of this community. I will skip back story for now, and just say that things became very acute for me. With help and a growing awareness of self, I am now one week into HRT and en route to becoming an outward display of the woman I have made the mistake of forcing down inside of me. It is exciting. It is terrifying. I have a wife and two young daughters. All of it can be very overwhelming. But there came a point where I could not keep pulling away from the world and marking days on a calendar. I am brimming with questions about HRT, working through the outing process and so much more.
Anyway thanks again for the great space. I look forward to adding whatever I can and growing through an intense time of healing and metamorphosis.
Love to all!
Allison
