Hello! :)
I'm Alice (or Ali!), and I just came out recently (but have been struggling for a long time with these feelings!).
I'm hoping to be starting HRT relatively soon (hopefully a couple months!) and I'm feeling scared and excited to be able to express the real me.
I'm having a lot of trouble with dysphoria, and since I'd been suppressing a lot of these feelings it's kinda like a faucet that someone broke off the wall and now it's all spouting out, so I'm really glad to be able to read about everyone else's experiences and struggles and know I'm not gonna be alone!
It's hard to look in a mirror and like what I see now, but I'm working on it.
I wish there really was a magic button that would make everything right, but even though there isn't, I know I can feel like my body matches me some day.
Thanks for having this place! ♥
Welcome Alice :)
The official welcoming committee will be along shortly, until then...
Have a wonderful day and a great time here on Susan's place....
Hugs
