Hi,
I have lurked here on and off for years, just reading. So I finally decided to join. I knew as a young child that I wanted to be a girl, but that had to remain a secret. I also believe that my mother took a drug called DES. I am not out, but I have dipped my toes in the water. My childhood was on the rough side which put me on the path of therapy and reading psychology and self help articles/books. It seems like the more I heal, the more Kay shows her real self.

Welcome to the group, Kay! Beautiful name, by the way.
Everyone here is on their own unique journey, but we all have this "gender thing" in common, so remember, there's no wrong way to "gender"!
Hi!
Welcome Kay!
