Hi, iv known about this place for awhile but haven't sought any kind of community until recently. Mainly because iv been putting things off most of my life and I want to start really figuring things out about myself. Currently im 24 and am looking around for a therapist who might have some answers/solutions but im also hoping to see what people similar to me have done, how they have felt, and so on.
Things for me started around the ages of 8 or 9 with wanting to be female, and so i secretly started cress-dressing shortly after. Its AMAZING i was never found in my sisters clothing although i often got asked why her clothing was in my room, i figure they knew about cross-dressing at some point or another but never really mentioned anything. Until i personally discovered what it was for i didn't even want my male parts.
As i grew older i never really felt the guilt i hear a lot of people talk about, once i had a income and started buy my own clothing but never purged them. Even tho over time iv become more accepting of my male self, i never felt comfortable with my size and shape. One major bit of confusion is that iv grown somewhat fond of my guy bits, and have fallen into a somewhat indifferent stance on whats down there as long as its enjoyable :P (and the fact that im still only sexually attracted to women) Another is that a few years after things started i became incredibly shy over my chest even tho its normal, and have a very strong feeling that i should have breasts.
There are a lot more things to cover but this is suppose to be an introduction and don't want to turn it into a 3 page wall of text, so once again hello and nice to be here.

Welcome to Susan's Place. At some point you will decide what is right for you but sexual preference shouldn't be part of your decision about who you want to be. We have many couples who remain together through and after the transition. Granted what happens behind closed doors may be a bit different than before but nobody is complaining. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Quote from: Reme on January 23, 2016, 10:53:45 PMSexual attraction doesn't define your gender hun. You are entitled to have your own preferences regardless. It's perfectly okay to leave bits that you are attached to. Surgery isn't for everyone. I like the approach that: "You are you, nobody will be as good at being you as you are. Labels truly have little meaning anyway." So just do what feels right to you. Don't worry about what others think for they live their own lives and don't need to live through yours too. Unless they think good things of course!!. :P
(and the fact that im still only sexually attracted to women)
Best of wishes,
Friendly neighborhood Tech_Nymph
