I'm glad you decided to come here. For a long time, I tried to just melt into the male world and disconnect myself from the transgender world. There was nothing wrong with the transgender world, but I just wanted to blend and forget I was ever in the wrong body. Coming here has provided me with contact with others who have been through similar experiences, new information and the feeling that I'm not alone.
It think you will find yourself at home here and congratulations on coming out to those who love you. That is indeed a monumental task, and definately scary, but you did it!
