First off, hi everybody. I was glad to stumble on to this place.
I'm 47,b bio female, and honestly kinda confused. When I was younger, high school n college mainly I was a real girly girl, mainly to fit in n be noticed. I have been described for years as a gay man in a womand body buy ppl who know me. My closest friends have always been gay men n I always identified as having a male brain.
Not really having any exposure to the trans community I never really thought much of it. I lived my life, married n had two kids. After i left my husband n moved 2 years ago I became more exposed and over time the feeling of being male has intensified. I've gone from "god I'd love to have a penis for a day" to feeling like I actually have a phantom one at times.
I guess my question is if it is possible to come to the realization later in life? I've always felt out of sync w my body but could never pin down why. With talking to other trans friends I think I may not just be gender queer as I identified before. Now situations stand where I may be able to do something n honestly the thought of that feels so good
Ok I've rambled enough so HI
