Hi everyone,
My name is Krista and I'm new here. I've been on a long slow path of transition that began in 2021 at age 59. I was in denial even as I started presenting gradually as female, convinced in my head that I could not be trans. I had never felt anything but male. I've had sexual issues; maybe this was a manifestation of that.
But my body kept sending me different messages. As my nails went from clear polish to pretty colors, I felt happy when I looked at them. Lipstick soothed me. I went from hating shirts that exposed any amount of my chest to feeling right in them.
The more female I felt and presented, the more sexually healthy I became. It's now clear to anyone who meets me that I'm not male, or not as male as their cis-male friends. Though it remains rare when I go out in public fully as Krista. I'm still nervous about transitioning. My wife is trying to adapt - that's the biggest brake on my accelerating need to present as my authentic self.
Thanks for listening ❤️

Hiya Krista! Welcome to the group from the sunny UK!
There are a great many people on here in your situation who can relate, listen and offer advice for you. We're a friendly bunch so feel free to join or start the discussion, we don't bite....hard!
I started in my late 40's but am still not out there in the real world yet. Like you I would think that most strangers would realise that I'm not 100% male (particularly as I have boobs!). Nobody really comments on it in truth.
I can't offer marital advice though as I'm not married (never have been) but most of the others either are or have been so there is a wealth of experience to tap into here.
Anyhoo, just thought I would say hi!
