Heyy everyone i am new to this site and going through the scariest moment in my life. Im not too sure what to expect around the corner. Im 24 turning 25 and would like yo start hrt but im terrified of it harming my health. Im not exactly sure either im new theres many things i need answered.
I feel much better being finally able to talk about it after almost 15years in denial. I really need  some support.
Thanks for accepting me!!

Here are a few links to resources that might help:

Don't be scared...
depending on where you are you might have two ways : looking for a good gender therapist and starting hrt...
or doing informed consent... the support of a therapist might be helpful nonetheless...

Concerning health here was a similar thread:

Just ask if you have any questions...

Welcome to Susan's Place. At this site we want everyone to have a long, happy and healthy life. As a moderator, one of my jobs is to remove anything that would be harmful to others so we don't allow dosage information to be posted on this site. The reason is dosages may vary from person to person and the only way to determine the safe dosage is regular checkups with an Endo. Taking hormones without medical supervision is dangerous but there is little danger with medical supervision. I took my first hormone pill in 1978 and remain very healthy with no issues caused by hormones. You should understand that hormones act pretty slow and taking more will not make development happen any faster. Also performance may vary. I have a pretty boyish figure because my genetics didn't allow for a real shapely figure. Other girls on the site have done far better in a much shorter period of time.

This is also a good place to get help with the other needs in your life because there are people who have learned much about all parts of the transition process and are more than willing to help somebody new. Ask any questions you might have on this thread or on any thread that might be of interest to you. I will monitor this thread for new post and will respond to additional questions.

We issue to all new members the following links so you will best be able to use the web site.

Welcome to Susan's. A good gender therapist to help answer your questions. When you are ready see a doctor to start and maintain HRT, do not self medicate.

Thanks for showing me the post laura i can relate to that story allot and im not sure why but i keep breaking down and im having a hard time really reading these stories are making it worse. This week has been the worst ive ever experienced in my life. Ive been doing this for a long time never really bothered by crossdressing. This past week i just realized that i would really like to start hrt treatments and to consult a therapist and possibly live my life as a woman. Im terified still im in a tough spot my parents cant find out whatsoever i dont want them to, but my father is counting on me to takeover his company which ive been learning and dedicating tremendous amount of energy and time to do so. Now theres about 1 million things going through my head at any given second. Also im scared once i transition i would never be able to find myself a woman to be with. I love woman. I like trans too but for some odd reason i keep denying that im gay i beleive im not, im not sure i mean i dont see myself with a man but i like trans im stuck. I have a friend that i opened up too and he seems to accept my condition. Im scared that might change. Im an ultra sensitive person on top of it. Feelings aplified maybe 250%. I dont want to be rejected or have to run away from the current setting.l

You could look for a good gender therapist to help you along...
if they are not helpful look for another.

Some might accept your insurance and communicate online:

Another possibility could be to ask at plannedparenthood or a lgbt center for counseling...

Well concerning future plans... its all possible regardless....
I like the twin explanation... people will be like their male/female twin, with still the same sense of humour...

One first step could be to look for a therapist... they might support...
