Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I have looked at Susan's for a while so I finally decided to join. I knew from a young age that I was transgendered but like many others I tried to make it go away. I use to wear my mothers panties and bras and when I got caught I was spanked. I isolated myself and had few friends except some girls. I am small boned and looked very feminine all my life (today I am 5'7',130 lb). I was picked on and called a girl; little did they know they were absolutely correct. I dressed on and off for years and purged after feeling guilty. As I got older my GID got worse and I thought about getting rid of my male parts all the time. I got married and tried to be a normal male to no avail. My wife discovered some of my female clothes and when confronted I finally just opened up and confessed all to her. I looked her in the eye and said I could not stand being a guy any more. I suddenly felt free and proud that I was no longer living a lie. She wanted a divorce but said we should be friendly. She also said she always thought I had gender issues and she was glad I finally faced them. She stayed with me for a while and helped me buy the proper clothes. We still stay in touch and are friends. I started therapy and was soon diagnosed with GID. Although I was older I was finally free to do what I should have done years ago. After a year on HRT I went full time and had an orci and implants. I hope to have SRS next year. I was really glad to get rid of my boys and I am now fully passable and and functioning as a woman. I am very happy and love being a woman. My orci allowed me to change all legal documents including my birth certificate. I was born in PA and they accepted the orci letter which stated I had irreversible genital surgery. Social Security also accepted it. In closing my biggest regret was not coming out when I was younger but even thought I am 54 I have some good years left to live as I should have born. I so look forward to SRS next year. I can't tell you how good it feels to be open and accept who you are.

A very big welcome from me as well!!

so many good people here, my only regret is that I didnt find this forum before;)

You are just 3 years younger than I but a lot farther along in your transition...I am very envious and look forward to hearing what all you have to say as you settle in and get comfortable in this nice "home away from home"
