Hello, i'm new here... so I guess this is the place to start!

I'm signed up to a few forums, but have never been signed up to one like this until tonight, so i'm looking around to see just how friendly they all are (i'm sure they all are, but you can never be too careful!

).
The quick background summary is that I am a male, 19 from UK, but i've always felt as though I am the wrong gender. I don't really open up about my personal life but on Thursday I plan to tell my therapist, who I am sure in turn will recommend me to more professionals who will be able to help diagnose just what the hell I am!

. It's all very worrying, but it's best to know for sure. The reason i've kept it to myself for so long is... well I don't know. I guess I feel embarrassed which seems perfectly normal. I'm sure these forums will be as supportive as possible though, and I look forward to connecting with you all

.
Anyway, I hope to have a fun time on the boards
