Hello everyone,
I just wanted to say how great it was to find this forum. You seem like a very thoughtful, intelligent group and I've already enjoyed reading through some really helpful threads.
Just to let you know a bit about myself, I see myself as transgender (MtF) but live my life more or less in a male role. I'm 32 now and have just recently stopped being ashamed of what I am. I've got a lot going on in life now (starting med school soon) so I'm not really sure what to do with this new-found acceptance of myself. But anyway, just the peace of mind of knowing who I am has completely transformed my life.
Well, I'll leave it there for now. Thanks again for the wonderful forum.

Thanks for all the welcoming messages.
Thanks to Tara too for telling me about GLMA - I didn't know about this group so it's really good to hear about them.
It's great to meet you all.
