Hello. I joined this forum last summer, having just come out as transgendered, but since then have spent a long time figuring out what this meant in terms of transition in my daily life. I have come to realize that I want to fully transition into presenting and living as a guy. There have been some road bumps [there always are], but everyone in my life who knows is accepting.
It's been a long journey. I have early memories of wondering why I didn't have the right parts and wishing I was a boy. When puberty hit, I hated what was happening to my body. I eventually became anorexic, trying to recapture the formless body I had as a child. It took me a long time to realize that the weight wasn't what I hated about the way I looked. Eventually, I couldn't deny it any longer, and I am happy to say that I am beginning to live in the gender that I am.
Thank-you.

welcome back, glad you are here!!
Welcome dude, and best of luck with your transition. It's good to take time to figure out how these things are likely to affect you and your happiness. We'll be living with the choices we make now for the rest of our lives and I think it's sometimes too easy to ignore that. (:
