Hi
I would really like some advice from some trans people. Im 28, as child I like dressing up as a girl. As I hit pubity I stopped, mostly to avoid teasing, but also I a fear of God. I have not cross dressed since. I have as far as I'm aware never meet a trans person. I have always thought I would have like to be been born a girl much more, but never told anyone. Until I saw some pictures on the internet about 3 weeks ago I thought to be a transsexual was to be in what i now know(or i think ) is the transition stage. Im not particularly unhappy as a male but my thoughts over the last three weeks seem like a brick wall I have built around myself has crashed down. To start living as a female would defiantly mean the end of my career, has any reading this or anyone know someone who has been in a similar situation, what they did and what became of it? I also want to have an idea of how passable a female I could become at my age, I am short but have wide set shoulder for a male. The transitions I have so far found are mostly teenagers and early twenty that seem to transition very well and old women that are not so passable. But im not sure if what i have found is an accurate depictions. I would really like some advice,
Regards

Welcome to Susan's! I didn't begin hormones until age 44 but I pass just fine. 28 is a great age to start transitioning, so don't be afraid. Take your time. And do what is right for you. Employment can be a challenge for many girls, however I know many like myself who have a better career than before. Just learn all you can, and know that you are not alone.
Welcome from southern California, somethinggirly. The best advice that I can give is that you try to find a therapist knowledgeable with transgender issues.
