Just wanted to say hello

I will identify as male...that feels so good! I am 38 years old. Throughout my life, I have regularly pushed my true self (male) aside. I have been reading this forum for a while and I am so grateful that it exists...thank you to the dedicated moderators and especially Susan.
I have had a lot of questions answered simply by reading this forum, but I still have so many more questions! It is also nice to read your candid posts and experiences. Simply by exploring this forum, I have had a lot of my feelings validated and can empathize with many posters here. Thank you all so much.
