Hello all

[ahumanfoil]

Hi all,

For this forum, you can call me Betty. I'm 23 years old and have struggled with gender dysphoria all of my life. Today, I saw counselor for the first time ever. Until this moment, I've felt like two people: a woman and a man justifying staying the same. But I think I am about ready to reconcile that by pursuing transition.

Great to hear you saw a therapist! No need to rush, take baby steps and take the time to understand yourself, needs and desires. I have been seeing a therapist for about a year and am still learning and understanding what is a big inner conflict for me. I wish you well
