Hi, I figured I should go ahead and post instead of just reading everyone else's posts....
I guess to start I am m2f, not out yet ( except with my incredibly understanding girlfriend), and trying to figure out my next step. Every since I can remember I have cross-dressed completely closeted. I have always wished I could just zap and be a girl. Until about 6 weeks ago I didn't understand my feelings. I used to wonder if I was gay. One time I was propositioned on this and said screw it maybe I am and wen for it. NOPE, no interest in penis, it wasn't a bad experience but it did make it clear that I am not just femme minded from being gay. I have no interest in being a drag queen ( unless maybe in front of the mirror :)). I saw a transition video on FB that just woke up the inner girl! And that damn song "let It Go" from the movie "Frozen" being played over and over again by my daughter did a number on my 'motionals too. I had no idea of what was possible with HRT and so on. The more research I do the more excited I get. I am 29yrs old, I look and come across to people as very masculine. Somehow all of the times that the "girl" has come out here and there in life it gets explained off by other people. This usually makes me awkwardly clam up hoping that no one would catch on to my secret that I didn't understand. I do wonder how many people have wondered.

I have been in that boat many many times. You are in good hands at Susan's.
Thank you! Everyone on here does seem really nice!
If you start reading, I think you will find that when you come out, most people will go, "well that explains a lot." They just don't usually think of it because it happens rarely.
Welcome to Susan's. You will find a lot of information here and likely make a few friends on the way.
