Hi there. Amazing as it sounds I only recently visited this site even though I have heard of it a few times over the years.
In any case, my name is Jenn and am a transsexual woman. I have been living full time for 9 months and have legally changed my name. I am married to wonderful woman who is supportive of my transition. I am also lucky enough to have the acceptance and support of my mom and my brother. I have been able to transition successfully at my place of work with no issues so far.
I went through a long struggle with my gender identity, from early childhood to my teenage years. I tried my best to deny it completely, and then try to satisfy my cross-gender feelings by cross-dressing privately. Eventually I came to terms with my transsexuality and began the process of transition at age 33. Over a year later I have finally reached a point of contentment with my life and look forward to continuing my transition in the years to come.
Welcome, Jenn.
Yes, it's about time you showed up. We've been waiting for you. ::)
Congratulations on having a supportive wife. Let her share the throttle with you and don't transition faster than she can keep up with. Things should work out fine.
Do check out other parts of Susan's Place, like the Wiki, Links area, and Chat, of course. Look forward to seeing you there.
We speak Canadian, eh?
