Hi! I'm Isabelle. I'm a non-binary trans woman. I kinda only fully realized i was trans in january. However, when i was around 12 or 13 i actually noticed signs and told my mom "I want to be a woman". Stupid me, i then harbored those feelings until i was 19. I've only recently gotten in touch with someone who can help me with HRT, but because I've withdrawn from college I might have to "wait" a little bit for my family to calm down. My dad isnt a great guy, he kinda rejected me coming out. At the very least i have my oldest sister who is very loving and is understanding me a lot. I always used to think "Oh no I'm not trans, I'm just into turning into a woman"(despite not getting "excited" about that sort of thing) For the last month I've been making it a goal to at least present as a butch lesbian, as i can see myself as being close to it. I think its a good thing to be in touch with Trans forums and such, and I've been talking to other trans folk for some time now. This place already seems welcoming and safe, so I know I'll like it here. I should also probably mention the fact that i wanted to be a programmer(why are so many of us programmers??) and i still would like to program. I dont know how to end things so uh.

Welcome Isabelle,

This is definitely the place for us.  You picked a great forum with gals that are friendly and helpful.  If you have questions, just ask.

Best regards,

Bea

Hey Isabelle, and welcome
It's sad to know your parents doesn't accept you, but at least you have nice sis
Many of us supressing our feelings for years, some - for decades. It's good you decided to investigate this issue in young age.  I wish you safe journey

P. S. Perhaps the fact that most info about TG located in internet creates some kind of entry threshold - still many people around who don't really know how to use it (teaching my mom time to time ^_^ ), so mostly techicians learn about all this stuff. But it's just my theory without any proofs, so... I actually learn about transgenders due trans character in Mass Effect: Andromeda - saw some hateful comments about it and started digging XD
