My name is Dana, I have been looking into M2F, for about a year. I was a twin to a female who passed at birth. I have always had the inclination to be a woman since early teens. To better explain that, I am 58 yrs old and back then there was a certain life style that had to be up held. If you crossed-dressed you were gay, and gays were a bad name back then.
I have been married to the same woman for 33 yrs this August and off and on have worn Panties and Leggings, tights. Not a lot said said by her. Really don't know how to tell her that I want to be a female, don't want to hurt her, she is a beautiful person. Recently bought Woman's Jeans and she well, wow, was unhappy. "They are cut differently, and it gives the wrong impressions" she said. How do you tell someone you love/care about, how you really feel?
I have been loosing weight as I know I have too. My goal is 180 lbs - am 6' and the bmi would be 24.5%, I have about 90 lbs to go- have lost 60 lbs so far. Mainly because I want the change. :D
Not sure how to do this, I know need hormonal treatment - not sure how to proceed. I would appreciate any help.
Kind of sad being what I am, happy when I think about it. What a mess.
Thank you for reading and listening. Maybe too late for me, I don't know.

Welcome Dana :)
They say it is never too late to transition, but finding a good therapist for sure would be first very big step in Your journey. Perhaps, You should see the therapist first and discuss Your fears and what is holding You back so You can reflect upon them and decide how to "come out" to Your wife? Your therapist should be able to help You with this too... Just do not make hasty decisions and statements - once the words are out, they are out there for other people to listen and draw conclusions. It will not be an easy choice for You, there will be a lot of happiness, though some pain and tears will await You too. Let us hope, most of those tears will be the tears of relief and liberation!

Feels great to be accepted. I will be going to my physician on the 8th, will talk to her ???, and shall proceed from there. Coming out is scary.

There are things that are scarier - like never getting to be yourself.
