I am pretty new to all this and came out to my partner a year ago. I have been cross-dressing since 9 or 10 but only now (coming into the middle of my life) have I finally gotten honest with myself and acknowledged I am somewhere on the trans scale. I have a fair bit of dysphoria lately but not ready for presenting full time.
I am seeing a gender therapist and working with the specialist under the ICATH
http://www.icath.org/ (informed consent) model for care. I started taking Spiro and Finasteride this week with the intention of taking things very slow; both for me and my partner's sake. She is as supportive as she can be - but not having any gender identity issues means that she struggles with understanding mine (her words).
I have found the forums here very helpful in understanding the very broad spectrum people are presenting/transitioning on. I am using Tumblr to post more frequently on - even if no one is reading the blog I have found it helpful to just get it out of my brain. I don't consider myself very knowledgeable but if I can help anyone please do not hesitate to ask.
