After reading so many inspirational stories on several websites, and talking to people on forums i've either just made the biggest mistake of my life, or hopefully *fingers crossed* the push i've needed for many years. I'm a 32 year old male, and have being dying, litterally, to live as a female all my life, a combination of circumstances, job, friends and family have being stopping me. Well, i've just emailed my mum, telling her how i feel, i'm sitting here litterally shaking, I seriously hope it was the right thing to do? Should I have seen a counselor first? Lucy. x
I don't think there is a right or wrong way to come out. Each situation has a different set of dynamics.
If you feel that you are part of the transgender spectrum, talking to a therapist to assess the extent of your gender dysphoria, is certainly a reasonable thing to do.
It's only recently i've really researched gender dysphoria, I definately fit into that spectrum. I've just been trying to supress it for that long i feel like my heads going to explode. I just hope my family dont disown me, i dont know what i'd do without them.
