I must say that this sight has been amazing for me. For so long I've repressed my feeling and have tried to live the way others thought I should be.
Not anymore.
I've been married twice and have two 9 year olds. I'm not sure how their mother will take this, but I have come to the point that I don't care.
My girlfriend now is the most understanding woman I've ever met and I don't think I could be happier. In fact she spent a large chunk of her life presenting as a guy. We were having some problems before I came out to her and now she treats me more as a woman and our relationship is even better.
I'll be starting hrt in two weeks. What a relief this is. I went to a therapist recommend by another girl and I was so happy after seeing her. Well, I'm sure most of you have experienced the joy of talking with an understanding counselor.
I did screw myself about 5 years ago when a doctor prescribed androgel. What a mistake now that I look back. All of the sudden my voice got lower and much more body hair and my beard filled in. At 40! Oh well, hopefully the hormones reverse some of this, but damn I wish I had figured myself out before then.
Well, back to work. Nice to meet you all and if I posted this in the wrong spot, I'm sorry. Just started using this app.

Hello and welcome to Susan's, Buhddakhan. Congratulations on your beginning HRT.
:)
Thanks everyone. I still have to see the doctor and figure out insurance stuff. I'm also a little worried that I might not be in the best shape for starting. 45, fatty liver, etcetera. I have lost some weight and quitting smoking. I drive all day and I'm a little apprehensive about blood clots.
I'll just keep trying for a healthier lifestyle and to honest, this whole thing has improved the way I take care of myself. Go figure. Maybe I was trying to kill off the dude I was stuck in. Oh well, much better now lol

Oh, I've gone and changed my name. Lol.
I guess that didn't work.
I'll have to figure this app out one day.
