Hello everybody. I've been lurking here for a while and thought it was time to introduce myself.
I'be been a closet crossdresser since my early teens, half of my life so far. Recently I've started trying to figure out exactly where I stand on the gender scale.
I have joined a local trans group, to have a chance to be myself somewhere. I also came out to some of my friends last weekend. They only wondered why I hadn't told them sooner. I had expected at least a little drama, but they barely reacted.
My current personal goals are to lose some more weight (going well so far) and getting ready to go out in public someday (learning makeup, improving my wardrobe and training my voice). I also need to get used to calling myself Emma
