Hey all.
I'm Tripp. Or Ashley. I have a pretty gender neutral name, so not changing it.
I'm 43 and just broke down to my shrink that I think I'm trans - FTM.
She wanted to know what took me so long

Anyway, no T yet. Been seeing the same psychiatrist for about 9 years, so after my endo appt. next month I hope to start hormones soon.
A bit excited, and scared sh*tless. At my age, I have a firmly rooted identity that's going to be difficult to navigate. I also have a 9 year old godson who has a strict and religious family. So I'm not sure how this is going effect my relationship with him. They have a HUGE problem with me being a butch lesbian, so I'm hoping that my transition will be seen by them as positive.
Still absorbing everything though!!
