Allow myself to introduce.... myself.

Hi All,

Just stumbled across this forum... which is crazy because I have been working on transition for awhile now.

I'm currently at a point where I am starting to do most things as my female self expect going to work... although I have come out to my managers and I plan to go FT by end of the year as a goal.  Went to the grocery store for the first time this weekend which was a HUGE step for me.  I have no problems driving around, going thru drive-thru, but getting out of my car and walking into a public place like a grocery store was crazy for me to do. 

I've been seeing my therapist (works with Gender Identity) now for about 4-5 months and am starting to get frustrated that she thinks HRT is still a few months away.. but I will be patient.  HRT is on my mind a lot lately, I'm 32 and just want to get started sooner than later.

Anyways just wanted to say hi.

Steph

Welcome to Susan's Steph,

Everyone here takes it one step at a time going out in public.

Confidence of who you are is the key. 

You are on the right path.

Hi Steph, welcome to Susan's! I think I had been several months into my transition before I found this site too. Sounds like things are progressing well for you, and that first out-in-the-open experience is usually unforgettable. Congrats!
