Greetings Everybody,
My Name is Bailey. I am a 39 year old identifying as a female. For about the past 15 years or so, I have had very strong feminine desires and tendencies. I act, dress, and think feminine. I have expressed to my doctor the desire to start HRT, however due to some significant medical conditions, even though she is highly supportive of me living as a female and the want to completely change my gender, she has very strongly advised against any HRT and most definitely any genital reassignment surgeries. So, that said, most just simply see me as a male with a cross dressing fetish. I am joining this forum because I would like to find the support and encouragement for me to be me, that I haven't been able to find in my own family. I do have some close friends that know. I've even come out to my 18 year old daughter. Luckily, she accepts me for who I am. I would also like to meet new people close to me who are also struggling with their own identity and even those who have gone through full transition with all the support from their own friends and family. I look forward to sharing stories, offering encouragement and advice and showing my support to other users.
