Title: Hello to all -
Post by: jettsetter on December 27, 2014, 03:24:05 AM
I just wanted to introduce myself, and start off by saying that I am grateful for a site such as this. I have been lurking for awhile now, and have read many insightful posts. This forum has helped me process my feelings and better understand myself. I hope as time goes by, that as I progress through my own transition, someone else might gain some insight from me.

Some background about myself, I'm 37 and I have had gender dysphoria my entire life. I am stubborn by nature, so of course I have tried to ignore or doubt my feelings, only to arrive at the conclusion that this is not going to go away. Until recently, I planned on living my life status quo. As I look back on my life, I am satisfied with my accomplishments, but realized it's a life built around false goals and expectations.

In short, I have become at peace with the fact that I am a Transgender woman. I truly accept it, and through the positive discussions on this forum, it has helped my gain the confidence that I can be my authentic self.
