Title: Hi, I'm new here!
Post by: James on October 13, 2008, 06:16:56 PM
Hi, I'm James. I'm at the very beginning my F2M journey, and I'm hoping I'll find friends and advice here.
I'm doing this late in life (I'm 44!), and am lucky to have the support of my (straight!) husband, who's promised to stay with me, and who loves me regardless of my gender.  I doubt I'll find much local support otherwise, as I live in small-town Mississippi!

Hi James,

Welcome to our little family. Over  2089 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion. Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers.  Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now.  And it is always nice to have another brother.

Hi James

Welcome. I'm happy to hear your spouse is on your side.

Please feel free to ask questions. There are no silly questions. Maybe you'll discover someone here who is close to your location and can give you ideas based on their experience.



Peace,

Rebis

Welcome and Hi James.  44 is not old and what more to say that your hubby is a keeper for sure.

Wow, thanks everyone! It's nice to have so much support. This forum seems very active, and I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all.
I'm feeling pretty stoked right now! I JUST told my Mom and she's okay with my plans. Whew, that's a huge relief! I knew she'd still love me, but I didn't expect the level of acceptance she showed. I've know I've been amazingly fortunate, that the two people I care about the most still love and support me, no matter what.

Welcome James!

I am new here too. Just like you have, I may even introduce myself one day. Until then, I'll be reading through all the old threads, posting comments, and resurrecting dead threads on my own. I look forward to hearing more from you. See you around!

Hello, James, and welcome.

You're lucky--my partner is very cool but isn't fully on board yet. Does your partner worry about being perceived as gay? That appears to be a major hangup for my guy.
