Hi all just a little about me, I found this site a few days ago, Im 50years young and I think Im approaching a midlife crisis, I went thru transition in 1982, took about 3years, FFS, HRT, Electrolysis, breast implants etc. I finally had my SRS in 1985, for the past 20years I'v lived in stealth most of the time, I now regret this, I didn't think my past was important as I had wiped all traces of my masculinity out of my life, Im now completely feminine in every way, right down to my lips and eyes I'v always been told Im very pretty and ''ladylike'' at 50 I think I look pretty good for my age, I still turn heads and get chat up by men all the time, but living in stealth has come back to haunt me, I feel I have been dishonest to some friends I'v made in the last 20years, when Paul became Pauline I never realized how much it has changed my life, there is a very good discussion on this site about ''living in stealth'' if only the internet was around 20years ago, I thank you God for finding me this board, sorry for starting off on a mourn.

Hi and Welcome Pauline!

I think that is one reason I have chose to be open, at least with people in my personal life, I did not want to trade one secret for another. I think it is a matter of personal conscience and I wouldn't condemn anyone one way or another though. Do you think you will end up telling your friends in your life?

Thank you so much for your welcome, Jaynatopia your words are so wise, I'II let you know how it goes, it ain't going to be easy, but I have to do it, honesty is the best policy, pity I didn't think that a few years ago. Better to hear it from me, than someone else, thank you for your kind words.
