Hi - my name is Anne. I have been lurking here for a long time. Today for the first time in many years I have allowed myself to be who I am. While born male, I I have known since adolescence that I was a female but have tried to conform to what was expected of me, expected based on my anatomy. I am not young, and would love to connect other mature transsexual women, like myself who have repressed their self, but now are allowing their inner self to emerge into their vissible self and develop congruity between their brain and body.
