Hi everyone I found this forum when doing a few searches and found I really liked the vibes here more than some other forums. I've done the youtube thing (sort of lol) as well but find it gets a bit old sometimes and ppl have a way of saying nothing for ten minutes lol (except a few ppl) and forums are a better use of my time when wanting to communicate.
To sum it up I started transitioning this year. It was a long road to get to this point filled with confusion about exactly what was "wrong" with me that I and everyone around me seemed to notice. On the other hand I always had this nagging feeling that I should have been born with a female body, but it was clear that i hadn't been so i tried and tried to go on with my life, never making the connection (or perhaps at times just repressing) that I was trans. I suspected I may be and almost transitioned 10 years ago in my early 20s but got scared and tried to go on without it, I never really felt that AHA moment until early this year, when my whole life flashed before my eyes with a new clarity, and I knew I could never go back to how I once was, because death would be better than living life dead inside, and so I also have nothing to lose. Since that day life gets better now everyday like i never thought it could, of course there are highs and lows this is no fairytale but the more I know and express my true self the happier I become.
So yeah here I am nice to meet you :)

Hi Aubrey :)
welcome! you'll find that many of us share your same story. I also started transitioning in my 20's (on my own) and without a support network like here or therapy my transition came to an abrupt halt one day.
Nice to meet you! :icon_wave:

Hi Aubrey :icon_wave:
Thank you for your introduction, and Welcome to Susan's!
With regard to the "vibes", well we all have our moments like any family, but I have generally found that that everyone here tries to be supportive, and we encourage differing points of view. :icon_smile:
....so I hope you will find being here as rewarding as I have.
I notice you have already started posting, please check out the site rules for guidelines... link..

..see you around....
