Title: Intro to me
Post by: PipTheCat on May 09, 2016, 07:46:21 AM
Hi Everyone, (waves)

Been lurking here for almost a year, havent created an account until last week and only today just got the courage to do my first post.

My lurking has entailled me sort of figuring out where I fit under the umbrella. Thank you to all the posters that helped narrow it down a bit.

I'm thinking I might be non binary agender/androgynous but have started the wheels really turning with endo appt for starting antiandro as I'm uncomfortable (body dysphoria) with male aspects of my body. I have been going to two gender specialists one a psychologist for about a year and a half and the other a psychiatrist for about a year.

There... that wasn't so hard. :)

Pip The Cat.

Welcome So Susans

Sounds to me like you have things well in hand with a couple of therapists on board. Good luck with the endo

Thx for the warm welcomes.

It does look like I have a handle on it but as most of you would attest its been hard getting there.

I little more info about me...

40+, considering transgender since 28 (because I was Internet researching srs/gcs), accepting transgender 4 years ago know I didn't like my male body, particularly hair, lack of hips/bottom and sometimes genitalia and came out to 2 friends (one is now ex friend but not because of me coming out). I came out to another friend a couple of months ago and that went well. I came out to my mother 3years ago and she said she'd love me no matter what but I haven't broached it since then (she lives on the other side of the country). I haven't come out to my siblings yet (also on the other side of country).

I also have PDD-NOS (Autism/Aspergers variant), plus depression, anxiety, bipolar 2 hence the multiple psychs.
