Hello all.
I am new to the site, so I suppose a quick introduction is in order.
I am a 28 year old MtF from the UK. I normally use the name "Peony" online (those close to me usually use "Pae")
It all started back when I was perhaps 7 or 8 I realised I didn't particularly like being a boy. I didn't enjoy the things they did and felt much more comfortable with the girls. That feeling stuck with me, through highschool (where my attempts to feel right resulted in a lot of heart-ache and bullying), and after. By the time I left I was pretty broken, and tried my best to just "be a man", albeit a somewhat effeminate gay man. it took a decade of on and off crossdressing and experimentation, a lot of instrospection, and a couple of attempts the end it all to realise I hated what I was and should be what I want to be, thats when I finally decided to take the plunge.
I have been on HRT for about 3 months now, and the effects are just beginning to show.
Got a lot of things still to sort before being passable - all manners of hair, sorting a better voice, learning how to properly carry myself, etc. Perhaps "outting" myself at some point would be a sensible idea too (athough the idea of just not saying anything and letting people figure it out on their own amuses me)
It has certainly been an interesting journey so far, and I'm sure will continue to be one.
I am happy to chat with anyone and will most definitely be interested in meeting those that are local, particularly if there is a support group or the like in the area.
