Hi my friend told me to come here because I've been talking to her and worrying a lot about various things .  I'm 25 and I live in NW England and recently decided to admit to my self I am transgender, genderqueer, some thing .
I have wished I was a girl ever since I was 10 or so but carried on as normal and dressed while my family were not there.  I fell in love with my girlfriend and pretty much stopped, although I did love girls clothes just was scared to wear them.  We split up and I gradually felt more and more like a girl again and started speaking to a very nice lady from the US and got into thinking I should try and pursue my feelings more instead of hiding them.   

I met some very nice transvestite friends and finally went out dressed to a queer club and really loved it .   I can't really class my self as any gender right now though.  I don't get any pleasure from just dressing so I don't think I'm a CD person.  I'm also not into girls things but did spend time with my mum learning cooking and had some girl hobbies in the past,  if I was a girl I think I would be a tom boy like my mum .  After doing gender tests it always comes out I have both male and female personality,  although recently I can't see my self being a boy 24/7 for much longer, it just makes my even more depressed  thinking I might be stuck like this forever and happy thinking I might be able to be a 100% passable  girl. 

If there is anyone in the NW/North of England who has just started or been on Hrt for a while I'd love to chat and get some info on clinics, local trangender friendly phycologists etc.

Thank

Leanna
