Hello all!
I'm new here and I've recently come to realize that I'm in the wrong body. I'm 36 and engaged to a beautiful and supportive woman and we have a child together. I'm divorced from a BAD relationship and have 2 children from that marriage. My soon to be sister-in-law is awesome and super supportive.
I came to the realization a few weeks ago that I'm meant to be a woman. In some way, I've always known. I can remember as far back as 6th grade, sneaking out of my boarding school dorm room at night, going to the laundry room and taking a bunch of the girls clothes and wearing them for a few hours. I remember the feeling of "Now this is what I'm supposed to be" washing over me ever night I did this. I've always felt more comfortable around women. Growing up, ALL my friends were girls.
I'm reaching out to you all in hopes that someone might be able to help me find a therapist here in the twin cities of Minnesota. I've had some help from a great and eye-opening person. She helped me understand the feelings that I have. Unfortunately, she lives in Cali and the distance is rough.
Please help me be me!
Thanks!
