Hello

[TransElizabeth1950]

Hi - I have just joined this site, it looks so interesting and supportive.

I am in my late 60s and have known for about two years that I am Trans MtoF.

I have always felt that I have many feminine characteristics and behaviours and have never felt one of the boys or part of masculine culture, so I decided I would dress as a woman and see how it felt.

It just felt so right and comfortable straight away, and I have been going out and about as a woman ever since, and getting such a deep sense of relief and euphoria from that.

I had a gender assignment consultation a few weeks ago and doctor was suggesting strongly to me that I need to go full-time as a woman - not quite ready for that yet, but about to start HRT later this month and so full of excitement about that.

Welcome to the site Elizabeth.
It always feels wonderful to live as one's true self.

Welcome Elizabeth, We are the same age and I started HRT almost two years ago. If you are that euphoric wearing womens clothes just imagine how you will feel on hrt. I felt like I was coming home. I had this feeling that this is the way it was always supposed to be. I wish I had attempted the transition earlier, but I'll take what I can get. Best of all I have not had to fill out a depression survey at the doctors for the last year.

Hi Dawn - thank you.

Yes, coming home is just how it feels to me also.  I so often look at girls, and younger women and think, that is me, that is how I was meant to be.  I visited some places I knew from childhood recently, and going round I just felt so strongly I was a girl.  And the sense of relief and euphoria is something I have had ever since I first started to dress and go out as a woman.  I just feel so much more comfortable - especially in female environments - shopping for clothes or at the beauty counter.

I am just hoping that HRT will strengthen my feminine feelings and emotions, and take away any male sex characteristics.  I am looking forward so much to getting started with it.

Love - Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

   I am Laurie the wandering waif of Susan's place. Welcome to our little home on the web. I'm 2 years younger and started HRT late also. I have been taking HRT for a year and a half now. Though we are late to the gate doesn't mean we are disqualified to be who we feel we are.

Hugs,
  Laurie
