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!

Welcome!! Hope to see you around the forums. :D
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!

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