OK so i have been lurking on the site for a bit and finally decided to register and say hello. Reading the stories on here has been so helpful that i wanted to say thank you all for sharing. I am not alone in how i have felt all these years and that means so much. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. I am recently came out to a gay friend of mine and that was a big step for me. I saw some happiness in my eyes for the first time in years. I came out to my wife a week ago and she is very supportive. That helps a ton. Her being bisexual probably helps. I have a long way to go and I know that the people on here and other places will be key to making it through. I am not on hrt yet but I have set up an appointment. Just admitting how i feel to myself has already had a change. I looked in the mirror and saw the woman inside looking back. I cried.

Hi, Robin. :) I'm new here too. It's amazing how much of a difference realizing you're not alone and taking that first step of self-acceptance can make! I'm so glad to hear you have the support of your wife and friend, and of all of us as well! :) Good luck and welcome!
Welcome, Robin! :laugh:
Just admitting who I am to myself has been so wondrously freeing, I can't properly express how great it's been. Don't be surprised if you're too jazzed up to sleep. :laugh:
This place is amazing for all the positivity and support you can find here. Actually, don't worry about finding it, it'll find you. :icon_flower:

Welcome Robin! Maggie is right about the support here because you did not join a forum, you just joined a family. I have never in my life seen so many people from so many different situations show so much love, respect and knowledge. This family is so addictive I rarely go anywhere else on the net, there is just too much information, genuine caring and fun here. I think with the time you have spent here already you can tell we care. I for one am really jazzed up by having another new sister! BIG HUG!! :)
Hi, Robin. I saw a couple of your other posts, but I must have missed your intro! :(
Greeting!
Hi Robin,
