Title: New to the Boards!
Post by: cynthiaverdejo on October 23, 2014, 01:28:38 PM
I'm also a a person that is questioning my gender. I've always been happy being a girl and never really questioned my identity. Since I began questioning my sexuality, realizing I like acting like a man at times, this has been brought out.

I'm not sure if this means I will transition in he future, as I can't see myself as a 80 year old man. But I think I realize there's a male part to me that i ignored for the last few years.

I started therapy again with a gender specialist and we've been trying to define what I think female is and what male is to me. There's a long road but I'd like to just be comfortable with myself.

Welcome to Susan's, Cynthia. I was fifty-six when I first questioned my gender. I lived as a typical male. Outside of the fact that I felt that I was different,I was never stressed or sought out answers. Then one day, something that was hidden from came to the fore. A few months later, I accepted that I was a cross dresser. I soon realized that my feelings ran deeper than just clothing. After some research I realized that I was transgender. This was over nine years ago and I've never been happier.

Welcome to the boards.

I identify as ftm but I think it's more complicated than that. I am male but I'll always have some female parts to me. And I am still working out what female and male mean to me. It's a long road indeed.

Susan's is a great place. It's like a family. The love and support here is amazing. There are squabbles too, but the care members have for each other runs deeper.
