Hello

I have been looking at the form as a guest for a few months and today I decided to join. There seems to be a lot of wonderful people here sharing a similar journey through life that resonates with me.

My story is that I am in my middle years, recently divorced with two wonderful kids who both know about me and accept me as I am unconditionally. I started to officially transition mid last year by working with a gender therapist for a number of months. From there I have started HRT and am planning a transition at work in the next few months whether the HRT says I am ready or not  >:-) .   I have come out at work and we are planning the transition strategy into the organization. So far they have been wonderful and I have no reason to doubt this will not continue. My Electrolysist / Laser Technician knows me and my body better than I do at this point  with much more seat time to come.  I am currently looking into FFS options as well and preparing for that endeavor.

My biggest challenges so far have been living a different life at work than at home and trying to be two people when there is only one and as a result it can be quite lonely till I can really come out to the world to really live and be free.

My main goal now is to find the JOY! in my life and to never let it go or have it misplaced again.

As far as other interests go I enjoy riding and racing mountain and road bikes. I think my best times have been cemented for life thanks to hormones  ;D. I enjoy cross country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking , camping and being out doors with friends and family. Last but not least I still own my sport bike however I am on the fence about keeping at this point so time will tell.

I am looking to keep learning from the girls here and now participate where I can as well a make some new friends.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the kid words everybody it was actually a huge relief to join for some reason and now the flood gates are open so who knows where this will all go.

I hope your other child comes to terms with your decision and in time they may. I consider myself extremely lucky that both of mine have accepted me and have actually become closer in the process. I will see if the teenage years hold true to this but for now I will not question the relationship at all.
