Title: Hello, I'm new here.
Post by: sbl on March 31, 2007, 05:14:31 AM
Hello. I saw this site recommended at another site I belong to. The other site has a transgender and transsexual forum, but the site itself mostly deals with different subjects.  I have been searching for a community for a long time. I have not had any operations, or even begun transitioning. However I know that I am a man in a woman's body. I have known this since I was a young child, even though I did not have the words to explain when I was that young. Precious few people in my life actually know. My main support is my husband. Though we can't afford to be legally married yet, we had a ceremony and refer to ourselves as married. We have lived together for three years and share money as well as bank accounts. He is completely accepting and supportive of  who I am. I also have a friend of eight years who knows the truth. For the most part, I have been educating myself with the help of my husband, but it is difficult to find practical information sometimes. I have had an even more difficult time finding specifically female to male information. I have spent some time looking around this site before introducing myself and I am so relieved with what I have found.  I am amazed at how hard it is to discuss my situation at all—it bothers me because it is such an integral part of who I am—yet I am having such a difficult time explaining it. It is good to be here though, and I am glad to have found such a supportive community.
