Hello. I joined this forum last summer, having just come out as transgendered, but since then have spent a long time figuring out what this meant in terms of transition in my daily life. I have come to realize that I want to fully transition into presenting and living as a guy. There have been some road bumps [there always are], but everyone in my life who knows is accepting.
It's been a long journey. I have early memories of wondering why I didn't have the right parts and wishing I was a boy. When puberty hit, I hated what was happening to my body. I eventually became anorexic, trying to recapture the formless body I had as a child. It took me a long time to realize that the weight wasn't what I hated about the way I looked. Eventually, I couldn't deny it any longer, and I am happy to say that I am beginning to live in the gender that I am.
Thank-you.
