Hello... Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Marcey. I am 57 and MtF. I found this site a few years ago but never had the nerve to join. I guess I have known since childhood that I was born in the wrong body. Iwas always one of the smallest kids in school and kind of quite and shy. I had male friends but was always more comfortable with the girls. I tried thru out my teen years and later adult life to dismiss and supress my feelings that I should have been a girl. But as we all know, it never goes away. I got married , had kids. But the relationships never worked. Not that I was attracted to men. Because I am not. I am totally attracted to women. But at the same time I knew that I should have been a woman also. I knew that I could never have come out to these women. They would never have accepted it. I only told one person this whole time until just in the last few months. As I said i am 57, and the feelings just became too strong that I could no longer fight it. I came out to my present girlfriend. I knew if anyone could understand, she would. She had been in lesbian relationships for years and considers herself Bi. She has many friends in the LGBT community and i have met many of them. They are wonderful and make me feel at home. They make me feel so welcomed and I know that when I come out publicly they will be there for me. I have found a fantastic therapist that I have been seeing for a few months and am in a support group. They have helped me tremendously.
I feel so lucky to be in my position. Money is not an issue. I have a great job. I am at a point in my life that i can finally do this . My only regret is not doing it when I was younger. But I guess that is a common regret with alot of us. But better late than never. Anyway... I know that was a long introduction... But I finally did. I look forward to meeting and talking with all of you.
