Title: Hey everyone!
Post by: katy_k on December 24, 2008, 06:03:25 PM
Hey

Don't really know what to write here so I will basically tell you about myself. Ever since I was about 13 ive had these feelings that something wasnt right, and it was around that time that nadia was in big brother in britain and when i heard that she had, had surgery to become a women something felt right. Since then i have been obsessed with being a girl albeit only putting on my mums clothes and make up when everyones out the house. Now i have taking the step of self referring myself to a gender therapist but i really need to come out to my parents and to say the least im scared.

Hi Katie,

Welcome to our little family. Over 1300 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion. Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers.  Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now.  And it is always nice to have another sister.

Janet

Hello Katie,
As previously stated, you will find that quite a few of us have written our "coming out" experiences here.  Take some time to look these over, it could be very helpful.  I think that being afraid to come out is pretty normal and it's a big step, but once it happens, it could bring considerable relief.  Anyway, welcome to Susan's!
