Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Just discovered and accepted the fact that I'm a transgender female. It's been something that I've lived with my whole life, but pushed to my subconscious. Raised as a boy, I did all I could to be like other boys. I became good at acting like a man, with manly interests and upholding expectations set upon me for being born with a penis. I knew I was a genuine fake, but it's never been so obvious to others, though I suspect they knew I was different because of something I might say or do that would throw them off, a bit.

I married at a young age (18), joined the military (USAF), and had five boys. Now, years later, my inner woman is screaming to be set free. I told my wife first and she's very supportive. She didn't say one way or another whether she would remain married with me, but I expressed my want to remain married. She told me that she's not a lesbian and I told her that I respect whatever decision she makes because she has a right to be happy, too.

I'm slowly starting to come out to people in my life. In October, the military will publish a publication for those who would be involved with transitioning service members to their gender identity and I intend to pursue that avenue for my transition, as it would be the most cost effective for me and I would be able to continue to serve. I've already started voice training (self teaching through tutorials). I can't wait to begin hormones. I believe that to be a milestone in my progress to bringing out my true self.

Tell her how great the foreplay will be since you will be trying to please her from a female perspective. Most girls I have had relations with prefer intimacy, over the actual act. Toys will also help especially ones that vibrate. Good luck.

Oh, we've touched on that aspect of it and I absolutely love that part of the act. I'm not so sure she's mentally ready for that kind of relationship, but people change (obviously, lol) and she may change her mind. Guess I'll see when we get there. Thank you for your suggestion!  :D

Thanks! I'll have to read those tonight, when I get home. Lots of homework to do and kids to put to bed. :D
