Hi everyone. Long time browser, decided to register. I am a 35 yr old male considering HRT for MTF transition. I have always felt kind of off all through my life, even from a very early age. I always had a want to dress in female clothing and feel most comfortable in them. I very often fantasize about having a female body and when I look at women I feel so jealous. After years of researching and browsing communities I learned that transition is possible. I would so much love to have the body I always felt I should. I am worried about being passable though at my age or that HRT will give me the desired effects. I know FFS is possible but is extremely expensive. I am also so afraid to come out. No one knows of this. I decided to join this community for support.

Please, dive in, ask questions, etc. Once you've gotten 15 posts under your belt you can send private messages to people. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions... my story is similar to yours. It's amazing at how accepting the world can be when you accept yourself first. *hug*
Welcome! All Natalias are welcome here :)
35 yo is not old to start. Actually it is never late to transition. Of course the changes can be less pronounced and get longer to take place, but they will happen!
Transition is possible and highly recommended if you have gender disphoria. It is a wonderful thing to become who you really are, to allow your body to change, to see the female getting out of the male body!
It is vital a physician to confirm the diagnostic and get you into hrt (it may take a while, depending of where you live).
And yes, coming out of the closet is one of the hardest parts. I did not come out yet and it is one of the steps that make me really nervous, but you can find tips here and all the support you need!
