Hello! My name is Alexa I'm from Georgia and I am MTF and pre-HRT (Hopefully not for too much longer though!) I'm mostly out, but I just want to come out to my grandma before I publicly come out.
I only really came to the conclusion that I was transgender in February of this year, but I had questioned it several times before and experienced plenty of dysphoria without realizing it because I've always tried to ignore and hide any negative feelings I have so I can seem much more positive than I actually am.
I finally realized who I was after talking to some friends about it and doing a lot of research, and I came to a solid conclusion when I recalled times in my life where I was wanting to kill myself with the hope that reincarnation exists and I could be reborn as a female. Since then I have come out to my closest friends and family, who were thankfully all supportive, and I've started seeing a therapist a month ago (my third session is tomorrow). My therapist recommended I come here for support and resources so here I am!
I'm shy but I'm always happy to talk and make new friends, and I hope that I can do just that here! ^_^
