Hi tsfriend, I can not say if you are or are not TS only you can decide, I know I did not know or accept why and what I felt as I was groing up, I knew I was a girl inside but I tried to forget about it and supress it and I could do it for a while but for me my gender dysphoria would come and go and after a point it got so bad that I had to admit I atleast need help, so I got help and from what I am told I have the brain of a girl and the body of a guy and I was also told that I have a hormone imbalence and that if I started taking hormones then the dysphoria that was tormenting me would slowly go away because my brain was getting the hormones that it was designed to get.  I have not started HRT yet but I hope to do so soon.  I forgot to mention that dreams are possible, I have been happily married for 25 years and she is supportive in helping me with my gender dysphoria, this is not the norm but it is possible to find happiness with another person who knows you through and through.  Aloha.

tsfriend.

The general rule, certainly among the Susans' community, seems to be that, if you want to then you are.

Being uncertain isn't about walking away, it's about holding back and checking a bit more. Those that have transisioned, to any extent, have done so, (hopefully), because they wanted to.

What if a brain test says you are, but you don't want to?

Good to see you again.
