Hi everyone.
I'm a Log time lurker and finally felt ready to say "hello". I'm a 45 year old transgender woman who's known about my gender my entire life - even as a child I knew I should be a girl but due to circumstance, events and a total lack of confidence in who I am and a whole host of other silly reasons I have suppressed my feelings on and off but you can't hide from yourself forever - eventually I couldn't carry on that way.
In recent years I have learned to love who I am and decided to take control and I can honestly say I have never been happier. The difference in myself continues to shock me.
Been taking things slowly and only very recently started HRT ... wish I had done this 25 years ago but at least I finally came to my senses.
So here I am - happy to finally say "Hi" and thanks for having me in this awesome community!! It really has helped me while lurking in "Guest mode" over the past few years.
Elizabeth
