Hello! I have have been reading posts at Susans for a long time. I am finally allowing my female self to come out and this seems like a great group of people to get to know. I have shopped for and worn women's clothes while presenting as male for the longest time. Like many I tried for the better part of my life to convince myself that it was a fetish or something that I might eventually loose interest in. This year i turned 50 and decided it was time to explore beyond clothing. I started HRT this month and laser work. At the beginning of the year it was planned as a short term experiment, like many, it is rapidly becoming a "why did I wait so long". Because of work and lifestyle I will be in the closet for a while. That being said I am very happy that I am slowly moving towards a place where I can be myself.
Hi Tess 🙋♀️ Welcome to Susan's Place! I'm Jessica.
I'm so glad you have come out of the lurking zone, it's a safe place to be in, but it's safe inside Susan's Place also. I too started hrt as a trial and soon found out it was what I needed. Interacting with members here, through comments and posts, have given me insight to my path.

Hi Tess, welcome!
I'm a 40y/o transwoman in the UK, I've been living full-time for over 10 months now. For me those experiments became permanent!
You're among friends here, see you round the site! X
