Hi, I have been reading posts on Susan's for some time, I now think it's time to introduce myself and join in because I'm feeling more confident in myself lately.
I am 47 years old living in Adelaide, Aus. I felt like a girl from around 5 years old, I cross-dressed in secret from an early age and hid my feeling from everyone until around a year ago at which point, after many therapy sessions for depression and deep unhappiness in myself I found the courage to reveal my true feelings.
I am married to a wonderfully supportive wife, and have three children, I have come out to my family and friends and don't mind anyone else knowing, on the whole, apart from surprise, all have been kind and accepting. My wife and I love each other and I'm so thankful she wants us to stay together.
I live as my female self full time at home and with friends, I go out dressed as a woman when I feel confident enough, which isn't very often, I'm hoping HRT will help with that. I am so much happier being myself and wish I had transitioned many years ago. I started HRT about 3 months ago and after some tweeks to my dosage I'm feeling really good, I'm starting to see some changes, softer skin, breast development, and feeling emotional changes [emoji4]
I'm sure I'm going to have many questions for the forum, and have found comfort reading other ladies' stories, it has helped me through some very difficult times.
