For years, I've read this sporadically, usually to release some pressure in that for a short while I could fantasize about becoming female. I'm 34 and have thought about transitioning many times.
I'm excited to finally introduce myself here as a member of the community rather than remainng an outside observer.
A huge turning point was when I gave myself permission to embrace my feminine side. Practicing yoga has made me much comfortable with surrendering to the moment. I found that when I identified with feminine energy, I felt free and better able to express my true self. This summer I took pole dancing classes and loved them.
Long story short, I started HRT on Tuesday and look forward to sharing my thoughts and sharing my own progress over the coming months.
