My therapist thought that I should go to a support group only if I wanted to. I told him that Id go only if he came which he is going with me. Ill try it out. I do however feel bad for only one reason being there. I dont want to make anyone transgender mtf feel bad like Ive been so lucky. I have really low t and even the amount my body makes, it doesnt even use all that testosterone. My body is many places never changed during puberty.

Many trans girls do not have this advantage if they transition. I just dont want me 34 coming in there and making anyone feel bad about themselves by seeing the advantage I have. I really am lucky but Im also very thankful for it. I wish they had the same advantage I do. Should I worry?

Get over yourself!   :laugh:

These people aren't going to be worried about you one way or the other, except for helping you with any issues you may have. Support groups aren't beauty pageants.

Hugs, Devlyn

Don't be nervous. It's a very friendly environment.

I found support groups to be more about accepting yourself.  Sure there are younger and prettier girls than me.  However, helping each other with that acceptance is the key.  The first group I went to, the fear was so intense.  Now, I feel at ease.  I'm sure you will feel that way soon and not need your therapist.

you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different

You're 34 and no testosterone development? That is a miracle for amab. I've had testosterone but I also still have hips and a butt. Everyone's unique in their own way

I'm surprised your therapist is going with you- that's really cool!

I have a few things like I have body hair but ya mostly many many parts of my body are more female shaped thankfully because I have very low t for my age. I even barley have a Adams apple and what little of it is there is not noticeable. I dont have no testosterone, just very little.
