Hello there everyone.
I am a long time lurker and this is the obligatory introduction post. So I am 31 years old and post everything since 2003. At the age of 24 I bought and self administered hormones from overseas for six months before going for the HBIGDA crap and getting a DX. I voice trained with Andrea's stuff and had electroly done. I wanted to be in transition, feminizing and using a passable female voice before showing up at a therapist.
Needless to say showing up at a therapist's office dressed down in jeans and turtleneck, already growing my curves, trying to pass as just another college girl, I did not really have to explain anything other than, "Umm I am in transition and I fulltime it on the weekends, could I get a proper hormone prescription please?" Then I got the bloodwork and endo stuff going on properly.
My hair had been down to my arse for years and I did the usual petit feminization like having my ears pierced, and getting my eye brows sculpted. I was already pretty andro and somwhat on the femme side when I started.
I had no family,or kids or anything. I lived alone in my early 20s. I knew there was something seriously wrong with me when I was a teen and even before then when I was a child and had tried to kill myself about six times from age 14-20. I knew I was mentally or spiritually ill somehow. I thought getting involved with GGs and starting a family would be deceitful nondisclosure on my part and I really did not want to do that to anyone since it would be grossly unfair to them. As a result there was no life to clean up and seperate from. I live stealth and life is good and my depression is gone.
Anyway that is all history. I have read many of your stories and I am very touched by them. If I have things to say it will be in the transsexual forum. That is all for now, have a great day.
