Thanks very much! I haven't done forums much at all anywhere so this is going to be a little weird to me but I know I can get used to this. I guess i could expand a lil bit... I'm married of 9 years and my wife has known for quite some time and is very supportive and her mother and sister have accepted me for who I am... not who I was trying to be. I knew something was different about me since around 5 yrs old. Over time, by the time I was early 20's I was pretty much full time just at home not knowing what was goin on or who or what I was. I just knew I was more comfortable living as a woman. I talked with a friend of mine and told them everytihng. That was when I found out about transgender and transexual. And she already had her suspicions about me. After she told me, everything started to fit together like a big jigsaw puzzle. Within 2 months of talking with her, I was fulltime female everywhere except work. I even went to a gender therapist for the first time. But it was way too early and if only it was that simple. I couldn't handle everything and went back to trying to live as a male again. Then after I was married for about 5 years, I just couldn't go on like that any more and had to face the truth as to who and what I really am. Since then, There has been no going back... I feel as if I couldn't go back to living the old way even if I had to. So, I guess a lesson I have learned is we are who we are and time will tell... as long as we are honest with ourselves. We can run from who we are... but we can't hide.
