I've been lurking aroung and reading post the last few days and glad I've found this site to hopefully have help with my journey.
My story reads much like a lot of you in that I starting very young with my older sisters make-up and clothing wishing I was a girl. Through the years, I've have a number of episodes where I could not supress my need to dress up to my true self but this last one has been something else. I'm 43, married, and have 3 kids (18 year old twins and 21 year old son). My wife and I played from time to time with me getting made up but she did not realize why I wanted to until a couple of months ago when I had a long talk while camping.
At first she didn't know what to think but soon realized she loves me for who I am. She just didn't want to loose me. We have been married for 23 years. She's been great the last month buying me make-up and clothing and said she likes it that I eant go go shopping more now than I used to. Her support means everything to me.
Anyway, I'm currently looking for a therapist to begin HRT but being in the deep south, they are few and far between.
Thanks for listening!
Andi
