Hi,
I have been on the board quite some time, but mostly reading and absorbing. I am 50, mtf, on hormones for 2+ years, but present as male. I also do not see a full transition for me any time soon at this point. Reasons being, my career, my height = 6'4", my family situation (kids etc). I know I know, where there is a will there is a way - just that I haven't the guts to throw it all away without a back up plan. I like what I do for a living (my own small but very visible business), I like my unsuspecting friends and the respect I have in my professional world, but I am seriously stuck! I have a girlfriend who is sort of accepting of my situation - hoping it will all go away. She and my endo are really the only people who know that I have GID and been on hormones.
I need someone I can talk to, someone who has been down this road and can relate. Someone who is preferably tall as I am, runs a business and lives in NYC. I know this is a tall order (no pun intended), but I feel the need to relate to someone in a similar situation.
Anyone out there?

Have you looked into the Callen-Lorde Center in NYC on W 18th? I was in an ftm support group there a decade ago. They had mtf groups as well. I'm almost certain they would have a group you could attend to meet others anonymously. They also have great therapists who are trans themselves. Good Luck!
thanks Simon.
