Hi all! I've been away from the TG community for a few years, I guess I just gave up because I was getting older and wasn't "pretty" anymore. But I've come to realize that the feelings just don't go away.
I've known I was different since before I even started school. But growing up in the fifties and sixties, there were just boys and girls, nothing in between. When I was in my teens, I knew I wanted to change my gender, but had no idea how to go about it. I also didn't want to cause embarassment to my family, so I just did what men are supposed to do, got married and had kids. After my first marriage failed, I considered gender change again, but lack of resources and money made up my mind for me. Besides, I didn't want my children to go through the trauma of having their Dad become another Mom. So life went on. Now I feel like I'm too old to even consider SRS. I'm not even sure I want it anymore.
Anyway, I was delighted to find Susan's website and this forum! I hope to find some new friends and maybe learn a few things along the way!
