I suck at introductions but here I go. I am so thankful to have a found a place that I feel safe. I just recently came out and it was liberating as I have held this secret for 36 years. I grew I missouri and have a wonderful wife who is supportive bit I am sure scared. I am nervous as to what the future my hold but excited that I can finally be the person I was ment to be.

A little background I started getting feelings as young as 7 or 8 that I was different. But as for many I suppressed those feeling my whole life and done as much as I could to prove I was masculine. I joined the army and rode bulls professionally to masked the woman that was inside of me. Until recently I was able to keeps those feelings deep inside, but one day the woman inside screamed so loud I couldn't suppress her anymore. So I came out to my wife and a few friends.

There was a huge weight lifted and I do feel much better and am happy I made the decision but I understand I have a long road ahead, and it will be a new track in my life.

Hope to get to know all of you!

Hello...and welcome.

Funny you mention the military.
After my parents knew about my wanting to be a girl from age 7, and feeling embarrassed, my dad encouraged me to join the military at age 18. He said it would make a man out of me.

LOL, wow, was he wrong.

Nice to meet you first of all, I know that I used things like the military to mask what was on the inside. Now, I look back and see all the things I did to prove to everyone I was a man. And your are correct he was wrong lol.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I did use many things as cover ups for my feminine side. The army was just one of those things I did to prove I was masculine,  but the whole time I felt like I was dying inside. I don't think any thing could have made me a man, I was born a woman in a man's body. I am very happy to find a place where I feel safe.

It was the hardest thing I've ever done but the relief that cane over me was instant. The crazy thing is that she was totally shocked by it and said that was the last thing she coming. But she has been supportive of my decision. And she loved my name choice lol
