Hello everyone! I am Erikka, its amazing to come across this site as I always think I am by myself and many people seems don't understand me at all. I am so glad to come here and I know I am not alone.... I have to apologize too because I have registered for awhile but I don't know why I've to wait till now to have my first post.
I started feeling I am not the same as other people since I was a little kid, why I didn't like to play with boys, like to play with girls, chose many things and preferences suppose to be for girl without a heart beat......but there was no choice at that time but to live and grown up as a male. However, a girl is a girl and there is no way to supress it permanently. This girl eventually found her way and woke up after thirty something years in a full blown.
I started transition about a year ago and my life feels much more calmer, comforting with my increasing femininity. Seeing my psychologist seems very good as he helps me to think a lot in many perspective and if I am doing the right thing in the right direction.
Fortunately, my girl friend is very supportive. Her acceptance of my gradual changes makes me lot more confident. Love you all!
Erikka :)
Welcome and glad to hear from you - it sounds like you're making progress toward feeling more comfortable with yourself - That's fabulous! Im also in my mid-30s, have spouse and 4 kids, and am pretty new to this whole thing. I'm only about 2 months since i "woke up" and am still trying to figure it all out; reading and posting and talking to anyone who'll listen.
