OK so i have been lurking on the site for a bit and finally decided to register and say hello.  Reading the stories on here has been so helpful that i wanted to say thank you all for sharing. I am not alone in how i have felt all these years and that means so much. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. I am recently came out to a gay friend of mine and that was a big step for me. I saw some happiness in my eyes for the first time in years. I came out to my wife a week ago and she is very supportive. That helps a ton. Her being bisexual probably helps. I have a long way to go and I know that the people on here and other places will be key to making it through. I am not on hrt yet but I have set up an appointment. Just admitting how i feel to myself has already had a change. I looked in the mirror and saw the woman inside looking back. I cried.

Hi, Robin.  I'm new here too.  It's amazing how much of a difference realizing you're not alone and taking that first step of self-acceptance can make!  I'm so glad to hear you have the support of your wife and friend, and of all of us as well!   Good luck and welcome!

Welcome, Robin! 

Just admitting who I am to myself has been so wondrously freeing, I can't properly express how great it's been. Don't be surprised if you're too jazzed up to sleep.   

This place is amazing for all the positivity and support you can find here. Actually, don't worry about finding it, it'll find you.

Welcome Robin! Maggie is right about the support here because you did not join a forum, you just joined a family. I have never in my life seen so many people from so many different situations show so much love, respect and knowledge. This family is so addictive I rarely go anywhere else on the net, there is just too much information, genuine caring and fun here. I think with the time you have spent here already you can tell we care. I for one am really jazzed up by having another new sister! BIG HUG!! 

Hi, Robin.  I saw a couple of your other posts, but I must have missed your intro! 

Greeting!

Hi Robin,

Welcome honey

Hi Robin,

Welcome to our little family. Over 8207 members. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another sister.
