Hi all!
I'm Melania, I'm 44. I live in Long Beach, CA. I do Cybersecurity for a bank. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm unsure of absolutely everything and I started HRT a month ago. I figured at some point I would just say, well this isn't me and I should just stop, but that hasn't happened yet and I don't know when or if it'll ever happen. So here's to not know what you're doing! Hit me up if you're as confused and lost as me, we'll be confused and lost together!

Hello and welcome. Everyone has a different journey, but they also have similar feelings, concerns, positives and negatives.
The people here have experiences and personal opinions they can help share and support with. A lot of us are still moving through life on our own journeys and can learn and receive support from you as well. We're happy to have you here. 💚

I'm on that Lost Train, too. I've said those exact words many times! It's also situational. Depending on who I'm with and where, I can feel exquisitely female or confusedly male.
But I also keep saying "Can't stop, won't stop."
My first HRT prescription awaits me. At the pharmacy.

Quote from: Galtar on Yesterday at 10:17:35 PMI figured at some point I would just say, well this isn't me and I should just stop, but that hasn't happened yet and I don't know when or if it'll ever happen.

Hi Melania! A BIG warm belated welcome from me from England! I'm Sarah, 50 years old and been on HRT for 4 years.
I think if you're still feeling good about things after a month then you're probably on the right path. There's loads of info on here but I find the best way to find stuff out is to just ask.
So very nice to meet you. I look foward to hearing more about you.
