Hi Everyone my name is Emma and I'm a 28 year old trans girl from Australia. I'm mid way through transition and have been on hrt for 10 months. I've come out to my close family and friends. I finally found the courage to post here after over a year of reading everyone's posts.
In August of 2011 I finally came to terms with my feelings for wanting to be a girl. Ive always had feelings that i didn't fit in and didn't belong and wished so badly that I was a girl I was in a very dark place during my teenage years but was lucky to meet the most wonderful women in my final year of uni. She really saved me i think I would have been dead if i hadn't met her. We were in a relationship for 8 years during this time my feeling for wanted to be a girl never left. I told her in August 2011 that i thought i was a women, three months before we were due to be married. We ended up getting married even thou I knew I wouldn't work out, I couldn't afford to lose her and I was not ready to come out at the time. After a lot thinking and help from my therapist I realised I was a straight girl and I knew then that my relationship was going to end. Last Saturday I moved out which was another big step in transition. Yesterday I went out for the first time as Emma I was so happy.
Thanks for reading my post. And thank you to this website it's answered so many of my questions and has helped me in so many ways
Lots of love
Emma

Hi Emma,
Welcome! Always good to have another Aussie around the place. There's a few of us lurking around and I'm sure the other usual suspects will be along to welcome you as well. Certain of us Aussies have been accused of running as a pack. :laugh:
Hugs,
Kelly
Girl Power. That's such a cool screen name! ;D
Thanks Diana I guess It was a bit spice girls inspired.
Thanks for the welcome Kelly. Their always a bit of Aussie jealously around lol :D
