Post by: samantha09 on July 30, 2018, 06:27:03 PM
I am kinda new to it. scared and confused. just cannot deny it anymore. secretly dress. nobody knows except a counselor I talked to. they said I am transgender, and I will have to face it sooner or later. I am married with children. never been a an alpha male, but just started feeling so feminine. thinking back, I guess there were always signs, but I did manly things and fooled myself as well as others.

Welcome Samantha!

This can be a scary time and there are a few other people here (myself included) that are going through similar circumstances.

I only realized a few months ago myself. Just like you, the more I think about things in the past the more it all clicks and makes sense.

I hope that you have support in your life to help you though this.

Hi Samantha 🙋‍♀️ Welcome to Susan's Place, I'm Jessica!
I know I was scared and confused when I first joined.  Through the support from therapy and here at Susan's I've become much more accepting of who I am and have seen it isn't the end of the world, life is ok with who I am.

I see that the shining North Star @Alaskan Danielle has greeted you with some very helpful links. I know when I joined they came in very handy in helping me learn and share.

Hugs and smiles, Jess
