Hi all, I'm a 49 year old male who feels that I should be a woman, since I was a teen I have worn lingerie and loved it, I always put this down to be a ->-bleeped-<-.
Over the years this progressed more to dressing fully as a woman in private, but then about 12 years ago I ended up in a relationship were my GF encouraged me to dress and after sometime we discussed trying blockers. So after much research I ordered online and started to take spironolactone for several months and after further chatting I added oestrogen to the equation. This continued for a couple of years, I still dress and acted as a man to the outside world, but I felt better about myself, a certain calmness but also excitement about the changes to my body, yes there was breast growth but also weight gain, but all was good.
Unfortunately the relationship fell apart and I was single after 10 years and then became quite conscious of my body and starting a new relationship with a woman. This lead to me stopping DIY HRT.
I'm now in a relationship again and although not taking hormones I still feel the same way, I have read lots of articles and feel that I should seek professional help to decide if I am transgender and if I should transition.
So today I have set the ball rolling, made contact with gender psychologist, hopefully I'll have my first appointment very soon.
