Title: Hello!
Post by: JoDavanee on November 16, 2014, 04:13:51 PM
Hello!

Transitioning to female.. I just began about a month ago, really. I wanted to post in the male to female forums as well but I guess it won't let me?

Anyways, I'm also intersex (46XX/47XXY with OT/DSD) and I've been contemplating transitioning looooooonnnng before I was diagnosed as intersex . I told my family and most of my close friends about a month ago of what I am.. My parents have known for quite a long time, but they are seriously conflicted about it, and most of my family have stopped speaking to me.. But my friends have been mostly supportive. :)

I've always been quite androgynous, though a small amount of T has ruined me as of lately.. I have quite a lot of regret about that... Either way I have always identified as female. So now I am working towards fulfilling that! Albeit a little late. :(

In the past month I have upped my dose of E, joined support groups, found a therapist, and made a lot of new friends! I finally feel like I'm taking steps in the right direction! And I wanted to join Susans to speak with others doing the same!

A big warm welcome to the family! First, you will catch heck for self medicating here and it is against our rules so no mentioning of that in the future. I am like you in a way. I found out after starting transition I was also 47XXY Mosaic and had pre natal exposure to Diethylstilbestrol Hormone. Strange world isn't it? I hope you enjoy your time with us and find what you are looking for. This really is a family and if you are here often you will start to see that. Anyway, welcome again!

Hi JoDavanee,
A big warm welcome to Susan's Place. Always great to welcome another sister to our ranks.There are many wonderful people here that have gone through or are going through the same feelings and emotions you are there is a best of real information available here, along with some great resources. Everything is right at your fingertips, so pull up a chair, relax and let your fingers do the walking. I certainly do hope to see you around the forums. Better later than never, I started my transition at 51. So it's never too late. I wish you nothing but the best of luck on your journey and may the Angels always look upon you and help guide you on your path.

Hugs,

Melissa Ann

Never self medicated, actually. Always used an endo! Doing anything without one is super dangerous![/list]
