Title: Reaching Out
Post by: Boo on April 21, 2008, 07:10:07 AM
Hey, all!

My name is Boo. 

I'm not sure how to label myself...I'm new to the terms...I have spent the past 30 years trying to convince myself that I'm just a normal 'girl', but I can't lie to myself anymore :(  I knew from as long ago as I could remember that I was male.  My spirit, my heart...I tried to join the BoyScouts and was turned down.  I never had 'girl' friends...my best friends were always boys.  I used to just accept what my family said...'she's just a tomboy'. 

I'm a man.  Just cliched...but yeah...trapped in a woman's body:(  I have been tormented and full of self-loathing for almost 3 decades because of this body.

I'm so alone.  I can't tell anyone...I try to be what they want me to be:(  I live with my grandparents.  I really have no one.  Blessings to you all.  I'm happy to be  here.

Welcome Boo...

One thing you will find, now that you have reached out. Is you are not alone. There are others like you all over. But like you have kept it to them selfs.

You have made the first step in a long and exciting journey.

take care

Monica

Hi Boo,

   Welcome!

   You are no longer alone.  We're here especially for people in your situation.

   Hang around and learn.  It's exciting when you can finally speak your own truth without fear of judgment.


Peace,

Rebis

Hi Boo.
Welcome to Susan's First on the list is to get a therapist and I am quite certain that there are those like you who will be most likely able to answer any and all of the many questions you may have.
