Been lurking since the end of August, when I first signed up to become a member here. This was at the same time that I came out as Transgender to my counsellor, it was as if a switch had been flipped. My world of darkness and despair became a world of light and hope.
I'm 47 from the UK and just beginning on this amazing journey into becoming the woman I believe I am inside. Excited, scared, thrilled, anxious are all words to explain how I feel. So much to explore, so much to learn about myself. I have told five people about myself, and now I can count you folks as number six. I look forward to sharing my life with you all.

Welcome to the ride. Sit down and hang on tight. It's a helluva trip! And don't forget to stop and smell the roses once in a while. I have found I can get so into the process I can forget to enjoy the journey. Welcome.

Welcome Naomi, waters warm.  We are the same age starting, well almost.  Never too late!

Your intro summarized many of the emotions and experiences we all have.  Each of us has a unique story but there's definitely a reason we go through all the stuff with transtition.  In my particular case it has been sooooo worth it... no way I'd roll the clock back, and if I did I'd head right back into it.  I am MtF in Seattle.
