Thx for the warm welcomes.
It does look like I have a handle on it but as most of you would attest its been hard getting there.
I little more info about me...
40+, considering transgender since 28 (because I was Internet researching srs/gcs), accepting transgender 4 years ago know I didn't like my male body, particularly hair, lack of hips/bottom and sometimes genitalia and came out to 2 friends (one is now ex friend but not because of me coming out). I came out to another friend a couple of months ago and that went well. I came out to my mother 3years ago and she said she'd love me no matter what but I haven't broached it since then (she lives on the other side of the country). I haven't come out to my siblings yet (also on the other side of country).
I also have PDD-NOS (Autism/Aspergers variant), plus depression, anxiety, bipolar 2 hence the multiple psychs.
