Hi everyone,

I call myself jeri... I am a (biological) 46 year old male. I am married 4 kids.  Knew I was in the wrong body since age 12.  (I tried on my mom's yellow bikini and felt good)... when I was 4 years old (my mom told me)that she had sat me down for one of our "talks" and she called me her little boy, and I told her that I wasn't her little boy... she didn't know what to think... (this was in the early 60's).  Since then it's been confusing from then on.  In junior high, I used to wear loud flowered satin shirts and angel flight pants (form fitting)... In high school I had to repress all that, for fear of my safety... I then did something stupid and ended up in the Army, and engaged... been married now for 25 years... I always questioned my spouse about "how it felt" making love and had told her in my next life I wanted to be female... well, soon after that she found my "stash" of girly things... she accused me of being homosexual, and demanded I get rid of everything if she was to stay... so I did... my feelings are still there, trapped in a body not of my own, but of a man that I don't want to be... I have anger issues that I attribute to being frustrated with myself (not being who I really am, and being able to show it)... I am attracted to men, but as a submissive female type, I also am equally attracted to women, but not as a physical male... am I crazy...?  I know deep within what I am, a woman... submissive yes, but a woman all the same.

Welcome to Susans Jeri!
So pleased you could make it :)

Don't worry. You're not crazy. Just about everyone here has been through the same kind of thing as you in one way or another.
Just getting here and telling everyone is a big step, so well done!
I'm still a newbie myself and still coming to my senses, but everyone has been so kind and supportive, so I'm sure you you'll find the same.
Just take your time and get to know your way around and you'll soon find you're probably the sanest person here.

So welcome again, and I hope to hear from you soon :)

Hi, Jeri, and welcome to Susan's Forums.

Are you crazy?  probably no crazier than anyone else you'll meet.

Mixed-up feelings?  Yeppers, same for many of us.

Sit back, read, post, ask questions, enjoy the forums.

Hi  Jerigurl and welcome to Susan's.
Crazy by whose standards. The one holding the measuring tape. Well Some would call us crazy but then are they truly sane in order to pass judgment? "He, hee" You'll do OK hone & years after coming out full time and I'm still here.

Hi Jeri

welcome its nice to meet you! the way you describe your feelings about being submissive I am basically the same. I am attracted to men (I have never acted on it because I'm afraid that alot of men would want to treat me like a man and I have no interest in that!) but I am more attracted to women. if you are crazy you are for sure not alone and since we have no idea who to go to to get a definitive answer enjoy our little nuthouse! if all of us here are crazy I have found that I enjoy the company of crazy people more than the company of "sane" people the crazy people are more interesting and accepting!

Hello Jeri!

Welcome! This is a great place to start asking questions.
It is not uncommon for a spouse to misunderstand and resent that part of you if they discover it. It becomes a clear threat and they see it as a CHOICE you are making that excludes and threatens them rather than an expression of who you really are. I am no psych but likely dealing with your GID will also help you sort through the anger and frustration issues. Good luck on your journey!

Thank you all for the warm welcome.  i understand your advice, and will take it to heart.  i have been trying to sort out these issues alone for so long now... it is nice to talk to all of you, and know i am not alone.

You are surely not alone.  I spent nine years in the Navy and had to suppress all those feelings during my time in the service.  I am just now beginning to expand and develope on the person that I've always known I had been.  You are not crazy, by actually confronting these feelings, you have in fact become the sanest you have ever been, in my opinion.
