Hello, my name is Emma.
It still sounds a little odd when others say it but to me it sounds right! I'm in the early stages of transition and I've seen a gender therapist. However whilst approved for hormones I'm not on them yet. I've been having electrolysis for about 8 months and it's definitely making a difference but more to do. I've also been having a lot of fun with the clothes and makeup but more importantly going out as me and meeting some new people which has been incredibly fulfilling. Where I've come a bit unstuck is coming out to people who know me. I'm seeing a counsellor about this and I want to get over this and feel comfortable telling people I'm a woman! I've been reading this forum for a while and it has been an inspiration to me. I hope by joining and posting I can make some great new friends too.

Welcome Emma to Susan's family,
Many are here to help. Many also in the same stages so look around and maybe you will find another who you can share your early transition stories with.
It is nice to have another in our family and hope we can help in anyway the forum can.
Safe passage on your path, popcorn?
