Hi!

[themadwomyn]

Hi, I'm a new to this board, but I am not at all new to being trans. I came out when I was 16 and started transitioning at 17. I have been on the hormones for 4 years now, it will be 5 in January. I am so happy I did, because I did not want to reach adulthood as a male. That thought terrified more than anything as I got closer and closer. I have since graduated from high school and I am now in college.   

I am mainly on here because I have felt rather isolated from other trans folks, particularly transwoman and I would like to start talking to more people like me. I know lots of transmen and while I love my trans brothers, I would like to meet some of my trans sisters and really connect with them too. I'm hoping this board will help me connect to those trans sisters. 

Also, I have been sad lately. I am seeing a therapist about it and she recommended that I try to connect with others like me and how they have dealt with issues. Lately it has been issues with dysphoria about my body. guess which part, and how it has been very much on my mind lately. I have had dreams lately that normally wouldn't be a problem, but lately have been extremely triggering and upsetting. I really hate it and whenever I feel movement down there lately I feel physically ill. If anyone has had any coping tricks with dealing this please let me know!

Thats all for now and thanks in advance!
