Hello all, I'm Jenna from Texas, and I have been looking for a transgender support group. I did a Google search and found this. So, I'm giving this support group a try. The reason I'm looking for a support group is that I'm thinking of transitioning to MtF so I need all the pros and cons and as much information as I possibly can. However, I will ask in a different subforum. Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting with you all lovely people. Talk soon.

❤ Jenna

Hi Jenna,

Welcome!

A lot of girls here have done medical transitions with HRT and surgery.

But, I already have a petite hourglass figure.  Just 108 lbs and 5ft 2inches tall,so I pass reasonably well without that.  I've grown out my hair so it reaches the middle of my back.

I have worked with a speech therapist to learn how to modulate my voice for a very feminine voice.
It was already in the right pitch range and I'd typically use long sentences with clear enunciation.
After therapy I'd drive telemarketers crazy because I didn't sound like the person they were trying to reach!

My wife knew I was  transgender before we got married.  She suggested I wear  female clothes in men's styles  as we found it impossible to find professional work clothes that fit properly!  When I started wearing VS PJs we had a talk to set ground rules.  We had long talks all sorts of stuff, including social situations from a feminine perspective.

There is a significant amount of information here, I suggest you explore the various forum topics and that can take lots of time.  You can also ask specific questions and you may receive some specific replies.

Be sure to return!

Well you have found the right support group, no doubt about that.  When I changed my life around there were no support groups so you will have tons of support, if you need it.

There were hardly any cons for me. I was prepared to lose everything family and friends and in the end I only lost my previous friends as I never told them.  I gained more than I ever dreamed off.

If you get a chance you can read my story in Sarah's Story a link is below my signature.  It's upto you and only you on how far you go down the path of changing your life around.

You have already meet a lot of people, from all walks of life to help you when you need it.

Please tell us more about yourself in the introductions forums.  I would appreciate it and other members would too, as I always learn something new.

Take care and all the best for the future.

All the best and Hugs
Sarah B
