Hi all. My name is Shelly. I am a 39 year old MtF TG but not "out" yet. My SO is not likely to be supportive. Due to my love for her and that I do not want to lose her I have not summoned the courage to discuss this with her... :'(
I am Australian but live in Hong Kong. Yesterday I came out to a fellow TG and he has been amazingly supportive. He encouraged me to join this group for the knowledge and support it can provide. :P
I think my story would be similar to many. I was aware of being different from around age 4 and didn't ever really fit in with the guys or the girls, but I much preferred the girls.
Currently my situation makes it very difficult to express myself, but I am determined to explore myself and my feelings more then I ever have before.
Anyway, that's about it. I look forward to make new friends here and hopefully provide support to others as well.
Hugs
Shelly

Welcome to Susan's, Shelly. :icon_flower:
There's a lot of good information and good people here. Each of our stories is unique but we have a lot in common. There is much in you story that is similar to mine. Settle in, pull up a keyboard, and explore.
As Janet said, be sure to look under the Announcements heading. There you will find the rules we live by in this little world of ours: "Site Terms of Service and Rules to Live By", "Standard Terms and Definitions", and "Post Ranks". Look through the other stuff there.
Happy exploring. :icon_wave:
