Hi everyone, I have been lurking and reading alot of info on this site and the site rules too, so not I thought I would introduce myself, I am Tina and I am a M2F, I have known that I was a girl inside since 1st or 2nd grade but I did not know about gender dysphoria until about 2 months ago, I was so happy to find out I am not some wierdo and I have a known problem that can be fixed.

I have never told anyone and grew up hiding how I feel inside, I got married and I have 1 daughter and 1 new grand daughter, I told my wife about my problem and she was shocked but is over that and is now helping me alot, we even went to the store together and bought some Bras and panties.

I do not know what to do from here and I do not think there is any people who deal with gender problems in the part of Hawaii I live in, I will take things one step at a time, the pain inside is sometimes hard to take and I get depressed and do not do anything but lay around all day, things are not too bad now because I did tell my wife and she helps but I do want to seek a professional at some point in time, well I guess that is all for now, I will most likely post a bunch of questions, I hope you all do not mind, thanks to all of you for listining to me and aloha from Hawaii.

Tina

Hi Tina, Like the name. Welcome to Susan's hon, there is much information on this board, just ask what you wish to know and I am certain you will get a response for what you seek . There is another girl on this group who is from Hawii, maybe more but I am only aware of that one. To be sure in a place as big as Hawii there should be a gender therapist there about.

Aloha from Oahu and welcome to Susan's.

If you find your way into chat, message me and Ill shoot you some information about what's available out here, or I can send it here as well.

Glad to see another island girl make her way in here.

Hi Tink, thanks for the nice welcome, there is a lot of good information here, if I am correct you were raised in Peru, that must have been neet, it is a nice place, I have never been there but I have seen a lot of pictures (yours included in your photo album) and I am a Ham radio opperator and I have talked to a lot of people in Peru.  Thanks again and Aloha.

Yes, I was raised in Peru.  I went to elementary/Highschool there.  It is a great place,  but life is so much different than what it is here.  People are so laid-back, never rushing, never competing, never interfering in the lives of others.  I suppose I will go back there when I retire or perphaps sooner... when it is impossible to keep your privacy in this country    I have been to Hawaii a few times.  Indeed, my boyfriend and I will be going there the first week of July.  It's his first time, so I'm sure he will be thrilled to taste some mahi-mahi and the Kalua pig....not to mention the poi  > LOL
