I called a local therapist about a transguy support group she runs at her office.  I'm going to start going.

Huge step for me, the classic introvert!

Yaaaay! Congratulations!

My therapist ran a support group too, and it really made a HUGE difference for me when I was starting out to see that transition was actually *possible*, that it COULD work. The nice thing about therapist-run groups (versus larger, generic ones) is that they can focus on specific groups, such as TS-only, CDr-only, etc., so everyone is more or less experiencing similar things and motivations.
