Hello everyone!!!
My story is probably typical of the many introductions that have been made. I have always known I should be a girl. I have always loved to dress in womens clothing and have been doing so ever since I was six. I have managed to suppress these urges in certain periods of my life. when I was in the Army, in my marriage and in my relationship i just got out of. But always pick it back up. Which can get pretty expensive. When I was a kid i would enjoyed playing dolls with the girls and would play the wife when we played house. Although my best friend was a boy I always got along better with the girls. I realized that this was not normal and tried to make my self fit in with the boys. I played sports in high school although my favorite was swimming, I also played football and baseball. Then I joined the military. In the years that I have suppressed my feelings I have had bouts of depression, including failed suicide attempts anger issues and some alcohol abuse.Thankfully never got into drugs or anything like that. Well a couple of weeks ago I felt my depression coming back and taking hold again. So although the timing sucked I ended my relationship and moved out on my own. I have been Kelly all the time except when I go to work. Still feel real nervous when I am out and about because i know i am not passable and know I never will be. I do plan to consult with a therapist about my future.

Kelly,
Welcome. C'mon in and wonder around. Ask a little, answer a little and meet your few family.
I would like to say that there are some fantastic surgeons that specialize in Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS). They can do wonders so don't count out looking like a woman.
Welcome Hugs,
Jen
