Why did I start HRT? I was dressing pretty regularly and it just wasn't enough. I wanted to feel more feminine on the inside. I was then, and still am, discovering who I was. I had never realized that I was transgender until a year ago. I made the decision to go to a therapist. I shared everything about myself with her. She recommended HRT. After reading about it I decided it was the only thing I could try that would have a chance to make me feel more like "myself". It worked for me and has given me the happiest time of my life. Finally at peace with my self. The 50 year struggle came to an end and I now accepted myself as I am. This is giving me an opportunity to start learning more about myself. Later this week I am attending my first support group meeting. I now want to share experiences with others who are like me face to face. Excited and nervous about it at the same time but again, feel it is something I need to do. Wouldn't be here without HRT.
