Hi all, my name's Aaron and I'm new here. Not sure how much or how little to write so I guess I'll just type and see where I end up.
Ever since being young, my first memory being at 4, I loved dressing in women's clothing. Through early childhood and adolescence I'd steal things from my mom to wear in private. I used to pray that when I woke up I'd be a girl. Through high school and beyond (currently as well) I dated girls, and found myself stealing away things of theirs to wear. Having sex with girlfriends, I used to imagine myself as them and them as me. That's a habit I still maintain with my current girlfriend of 5 years. It seems as though these feelings have been growing stronger though. Where I used to borrow clothes to wear I've now started buying clothes, wigs, shoes. I have a job where I work from home and most days after my girlfriend leaves for work, I lead my day at home as a woman. This has all led me to start seeing a therapist. I've only had one appointment thus far and at that first meeting she suggested getting on forums like this to talk to others to see if I find it to be any help.
My girlfriend is aware of the dressing while she's away and she's fine with that, but she never wants that world to intersect with hers. I'm still juggling what I am and what I want to do in my mind and it's a major struggle. I know I stand to lose a lot so it's tough figuring out what to do.
So hello everyone, and thanks for reading!

Hello Aaron. Glad you found us. Join in the discussion and don't be shy. We are a big family here.
Hi Aaron,
A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in start talking and ask any question that takes your fancy.
You've started your journey the right way with a good therapist. It seems his advice so far is good. Being a member of good forums allows you question your behaviour in a safe and accepting environment.
Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
