Hey all.
I'm Tripp. Or Ashley. I have a pretty gender neutral name, so not changing it.
I'm 43 and just broke down to my shrink that I think I'm trans - FTM.
She wanted to know what took me so long :P
Anyway, no T yet. Been seeing the same psychiatrist for about 9 years, so after my endo appt. next month I hope to start hormones soon.
A bit excited, and scared sh*tless. At my age, I have a firmly rooted identity that's going to be difficult to navigate. I also have a 9 year old godson who has a strict and religious family. So I'm not sure how this is going effect my relationship with him. They have a HUGE problem with me being a butch lesbian, so I'm hoping that my transition will be seen by them as positive.
Still absorbing everything though!!

Welcome Tripp!
I am new here too. Just like you have, I may even introduce myself one day. Until then, I'll be reading through all the old threads, posting comments, and resurrecting dead threads on my own. I look forward to hearing more from you. See you around!
