Saltine! Welcome to Susan's Place!
I really liked your introduction! I think a lot of us went through something similar, in which we knew ourselves as trans since a very early age, and we might've even shared it with people we trusted, but still started the actual transition years and years and years later!
But, the good thing is that we started, and that now we're living as authentically as we can.
Hope you are able to find great friends and connections here!
Hugs,
Ally
