Susan's Place Transgender Resources

My birth name is Kendall and I decided that is a good enough female name. I am MTF non-binary but want to transition to female before considering non-binary identity again.

I am 55 years old and am not trying to present as female yet, aside from some minor changes. I wore women's clothing and makeup in public every day for some time when I was 20, but didn't think of it is being female in a man's body (I thought of it as having been born male, but openly preferring female things). About 5 years ago it occurred to me that "transgender" was  a word describing what i am. I went bonkers trying to do everything at once to transition.

I have been on Estradiol and Spironolactone for about 2 months. In the last few days I've started to constantly feel my breasts on my body, even though they haven't changed size. I have nipple soreness also.

Welcome to Susan's. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Glad you made it here. Going bonkers sounds familiar...when you suddenly understand for the first time where you fit into the world it can be such a great moment of self realisation that you just want everything you have missed out on and you want it NOW. Welcome to Susan's I am sure you will find some kindred souls here. Hope you enjoy your time on the board.

So you are able to get the very best from being here there are a couple of links we give to all our new members

Regards

LizK

Hi Kendall!
Welcome! I'm still fairly new here myself but it's been great to see what a lovely community there is on this site. Glad to welcome another member : )

   I'm ftm so I'm going in the other direction but I really relate to your NB identification. I id'd as Genderqueer for a very long time and it's still a little confusing for me. I've recently begun thinking that tho I'm a trans man, I'm still genderqueer as well. For me, my gender identity is Male, but my gender presentation is genderqueer. I'm not sure if those terms work like that but that's what works for me.
  Hope to see you around the forums
