Hello there my name is stephani i am new to this sight and am kind of interested in some of your thoughts so i will be snooping and repling to many posts i look forward to reading alot of things that will be discusted.... ok now to me i am a thirty seven year young gender identity concerned
individual , i wont call it a disorder because we know thats not what it is and disorders usually can be cured and there is no cure just therapys for this , I have known since around the age of five that I was placed into the wrong body but , up until around the last year have i been looking into it and trying to make greater sence of it all.... I have come to the understanding that things must change to become who i have been hiding away from the world and I am fine with that I have had to change who I was from the start so to change into who I am will saticfy me completely I do however know it is not going to be easy ( god knows it has not been a cake walk to this point ) but i feel confident and strong enough to make it to the point that i can be confortable with in my own skin, I have been driving a semi truck for about twelve years now it gives me plenty of time to
myself, and trust me i like that greatlyi am not a people person but i do play well with others, so no worries for you guys there, i will be anticipating replies from you all so i will stop here and snoop some more...

Welcome Stephani,
Good to see ya. You'll find allot helpful topics and friends here 

thank you virginia, I like the new pic.... someday rite...we could all be so lucky... this thing is a real turd what you have to put the code in every time you want to reply to some one... what a pain think they could come up with something that doesn't have to be checked and then double checked to just make a reply...oh well I will get through it as well

No, just stay logged in until your done. You should be able to bounce around and reply fairly easily

Hi Stephani.

Welcome to the family.

Hi Steph, Welcome to Susans. It sounds like you have had plenty of time to reason through things. I would still advise seeing a qualified Gender Therapist that has worked with others like yourself. You are right in recognizing that it wont always be easy and that is where they come in, to help you make the right decisions. You are also not alone in being a truck driver. I have met quite a few  on the boards. Anyway, hope you found a home away from home here. Hugs

Wendy
