Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi girls

I'm Jasmine, I'm 45 years old and I've just decided recently to come out the closet. I'm a poet, a performer and I've organized several artistics events. I'm French, from Paris and everyone knows french people are very bad in foreign languages, so be indulgent with me  :D

I can't say I've always known I had a woman in me. I'd rather thought it was just a fetish and kept it by myself since I was 18-20 years old. All my life, this poisoned my emotional and my professional life with long periods of depression. I spended a lot of energy to repress this part of me, that leads me to isolation, a lack of stimulation in all parts of my life, a lack of respect to myself. After all these years, I realize that feeling was more than just a fantasy.

Accepting that means to go further than just have sometimes feminine underwears (I'm currently in a huge shopping crisis lol), to talk about my feelings to my closest friends, and to prepare myself step by step to go out in woman. I don't know really where I'm going with that, but at last I authorize myself to explore it.

So I'm here to share, make friends and have some support in this path.

Thanks to read till there, it was a bit long, but think : I've got 25 years to catch up !  ;D

Kiss you all

Jasmine

Bonjour Jasmine!

Bienvenue sur le site.

And I'm out of high school French...

Your story sounds very familiar.  Many of us had such thoughts and kept ourselves hidden away.  Most decided to come out in their late 30s or 40s, but some of us made it into our 60s.  Last week I met a transitioning woman who was 84 years old, an overachieving athlete in their youth who managed to suppress themselves for a very long time.

There are many kindred spirits on this site.  I hope you feel welcome here.
