Ok, where do I start? My earliest memories might be the place!
I have very clear memories of not being right as a child and wanting to change - every night praying I would wake having become the girl I felt to be inside. I would offer sacrices such as ending up in a wheel chair, but nothing happened.
Then when I was about 13/14 I saw a tennis game where the commentator said one of the women used to be a man. Elation! Followed immediately by disparaging comments from my father, and well that was that.
I have since overdone the being a boy thing. Had girlfriends, moved in with one and told her I had issues and what they are, which while not liking, she did help with buying clothes and let me have my evenings alone. We have since had kids and the family is the most important thing in my life, but now I'm getting desperate. At work I'm constantly on the verge of cracking up. I feel as if I need to make progress so set up an email account and fb page (no friends obviously) and have just ordered a pair of ankle boots to cheer me up.
I think I'm going to have to make the trip to my gp. Anyway, I think you've all been here so I won't bore you anymore, but tgankyou for the resources etc

A big warm welcome to the family Sarah! :icon_hug: Just send me a friend request on Facebook and you will have one OK? I have over 129 and most of them would love to meet you as well. See, problem solved on your very first post! That is just how we roll around here and we do have the best people I have ever known. Sometimes there is friction, but what family doesn't have that? Anyway welcome and make yourself at home. PS-If you were talking about Christine Jorgenson she was my early heroine also!! :)

Thank you both for the warm welcome :)
Grace, thanks for the links, I'll read as soon as possible :)
Jessica, fb request done - thank you; you have no idea how happy that makes me feel.
Hopefully I'll be on here quite a lot, but obviously this double life has to take second place :(
Thank you again

No problem! Is there any age or location things you would like me to consider when suggesting people?
