Hey, my name is Catherine. I am 27 years old and believe that I was born in the wrong body. Without going into great detail, I am pre-HRT and am out to my psychologist just now. I am trying to work out what it is I need to do to do away with some of my dysphoria, which is part of why I am joining this forum. I work in IT and have a girlfriend that I live with who does not know about my feelings of dysphoria yet. I want to say that I think all of you are really brave for coming out and living the life you want.

Welcome to Susan's Place! I am quite new here. I would join the chat once in awhile, but yesterday I finally took the plunge and introduced myself. I do hope that your journey will be quite fulfilling including what bumps you may hit along the way. I have discovered that the people here do care and are often very helpful. Hope to see you around.
