After lurking on these boards forever, I have registered and posted. My story is the same as many other older transgenders. I had two failed marriages and a bad drug habit by the early 70's. We really existed in isolation back then. Absolutely no way to find anyone else. Thankfully, that has changed! I had a few male lovers and finally found a man who terned into a long term love relationship. We were quite open before it became fashionable. Pulled myself up, went to college, got several degrees, divorced (mentally) him, and found a lady who wanted a fem male. I had always felt close to my lesbian friends. I have been able to express my fem side for most of my adult life. Usually I have done it through what were defined as traditional feminine roles; cooking, cleaning, the arts. But I have always had that aching desire to transition. My practical side had always won out. Aproximately 3 1/2 years ago I started hormones, and have had most of my facial hair removed. Just somehow moving foreward keeps me sane. Now I have reached a state where I can financially accomplish what I want, and still have food on the table!

Hi Cindy, welcome to Susan's. Hmmmm I had two failed relationships before I learned who the inner self is. I pray that all will go well for you on the rest of your journey to being yourself.
