I've kept a secret for over 50 years. From the days my mother dressed me in my sisters costumes complete with make up. To the day I was molested at a Boy Scout camp. To my need to dress up and feel some worth. I've been here in my dream world thinking how it would be in the real world. I envy the young transgenders because however slowly acceptance is evolving it is evolving. Thank you all you trailblazers. If the choices available to a teen were available in my time as a teen I would be a lot happier today. I am finally going to confront my past tomorrow with a therapist. I have never discussed this with anyone before, and now you, my new friends.  I am not looking to stop. I am looking for ways to find acceptance through my family and friends. Any suggestions?

Dawn,

This is exactly how I felt for the same length of time. After years of denial and trying to fit in and about a little more than a  year ago, I finally had the courage to admit to myself what I needed to do and make a plan for the desired result.

Remember: Make a plan, work the plan and don't look back!

In 2 days, on Thursday, I will have SRS. My only regret at this time, is NOT doing this 50 years ago.

I will keep all my sisters posted, when I am post-op.

Yes, I know this was posted in the crossdresser forum, but really are we not all struggling with similar, if not identical issues? Just do what you need to do!
