Hello My name is Katie.
I just joined this forum after I found it on Google. I am a 39 year old M to F Transsexual. I am currently taking hormones, though this was a hard decision, I am the Happiest I have ever been in my entire life. I have had a hard time with this transition, but fortunately my job is very accepting of me. I have been living as a woman full time for the Past 6 months. My family lives almost 3 thousand miles away from me, they had no idea that I was going through this transition until recently. I think one of the hardest challenges that I had to face was explaining to my farther that I was no longer his son but now I am his daughter. I am happy to say that even though he does not quite understand what I am going through, he does accept me. For years I was ashamed of myself and who I was, Today I am very confident and I am proud of who I have become. My message to everyone facing the same challenges I am, Be proud of who you are. You control you own destiny.
