So this is something i initially struggled with most of my life,at a very young age I felt that O was the wrong Gender but suppressed those feelings due to how my family was(very conservative),when I moved out onto my own I still felt that I was a woman trapped in a mans body,at this point I  rewas in.denial and.still and thought by getting Married I could "Fix Myself" but it ended in divorce eventually and for the past Two yrs ive been.coming to terms and accepting my feelings and as of last week ive Come out to three of my friends and they've been so supportive thankfully.Atm Im considering.transition but im nervous to be honest,but I think ill be ok as I was prepared to lose my 3 friends I came out to. Silly me where are my Manners,I want to ibtroduce myself now,My name is Jaiden,im almost 29 yrs old and work in aviation as a mechanic,been doing this for 7 yrs now and love it,hobbies include Motorcycle riding,shooting pool,dancing to music and singing horridly in the shower

A big warm welcome to the family Jaiden!! Yes, your story is so familiar to us all. Welcome to a wonderful place where others understand you and will never judge. My own story matches yours completely. I would like to suggest you do what most here did and that is to find a good therapist preferably with gender experience and let them help you decide what is best. They can help prepare you for transition or learning how to live in a way that is comfortable for you. Watch out though, I dressed for one simple therapy session and it was so intoxicating I went full time that very first day. It was like a cold drink of water in the desert.  :)
