Finally admitted it
January 26, 2015, 01:34:31 AM
Hi everyone...I'm here because after a life time of dysphoria and depression and self-loathing, I'm finally admitting that I'm trans. For a long time I even lashed out at trans people who were braver than me and presented as the gender they identified with. I recognize that a lot of that was self hatred. I'm still working through a lot of things. I have a lot of questions...a lot of fears.
I'm 31...pretty old to be finally admitting these things. For years I've just sat online and told people I was male because it was a preferable fantasy to reality. This week I came clean to all my online friends. I lost a lot. People were hurt that I lied about so many things. But I'm ready to start over now. Honestly. So....hi.

Hi! Welcome to Susan's! Internalised transphobia is quite common and can present quite a barrier to self acceptance. 31 isn't too old, in fact it seems to be the average age! 🙂
