Hi, since I'm kind of new to this community I though I should probably introduce myself...
My given, male name is Milo (like the chocolate drink or the guy from Atlantis). Ever since I was a small child I wondered what it would be like to be female, to wear feminine clothes and ditch my male body, but I originally thought it was something I would grow out of in time. Suffice to say I never did. As I got into my early teens I decided to investigate my options, as I couldn't shake the feeling of gender dysphoria, and I found various youtube channels detailing inspiring mtf transitions, and cross dressing advice. Although I was terrified of the dark chasm, which was my gender identity, that was looming in front of me. I tried to forget it and move on with my life but I couldn't. So a year ago I started cross dressing, borrowing what I could from my Mum and sister, and I loved the feeling. I feel whole when I'm dressed as a female, even though I'm still 'in the closet.' As I get older I identify more and more as a girl, and I have a constant yearning to make my body more like the female within me, but I'm kind of scared. I've kept this to myself for so long, and now I'm at a crossroads in my life, as I hope to go to vet school next year. That's why I came here really...

Anyways, Thanks for listening to my cheesy story (sorry about that),
Love Tori

HiTori and welcome to Susan's. I was where you are over nine years ago. I haven't transitioned physically but certainly have emotionally and spiritually. People see me as a female. There's much information here and  some great people also. Whatever questions you have, feel free to ask them. Thank you for your introduction.
