Hello everyone!

My current name is Phil.... But you can call me Phyl=)  I'm sure you all know that means that I haven't changed the name yet, so I won't mention it.  Oops.  My backspace key doesn't work, so I can't erase that.  I can't use whiteout, either.  I seem to have my screen covered in white marks from previous mistakes... I don't understand why the whiteout doesnt scroll up with the document!

Hehehe!

Enough with the giggles and silliness

I've begun my transition 3 months ago, and will post my current dilemma tomorrow after I get a chance to introduce myself today.  After all, how rude is it to introduce yourself to someone and in the same sentence tell them all your maladies?  Bah, not me!

I'm married with two children, transitioning from male to female.  I've always wanted to be a female, it just never hit me to do it until 3 months ago.  I'm scared, though.  I'm currently 34, and I've read all the documents on breast development for my age group, which is minimal.  Sigh...........  More about that tomorrow.

Anyways, I've decided to try to share my life with other going through these experiences instead of trying to bear it by myself.  My wife is less than supportive, as you can imagine, but we get along better since I started.  Strange, aint it?  I feel calmer, my whole attitude towards marriage has changed for the better, and I generally LOVE the transfer.  I just wish it wouldn't take so long!!!!!  But..... I suppose natal females feel the same way as they wait for their bodies to develop too, I'm just doing my development 24 years after they begin=)

So, I just wanted to say Hi!  I'll talk about my issues later.

Hi Phil,
Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum. I am relatively new here myself but I have found it to be a wealth of information and support. Everyone is super supportive and helpful.

I have not yet found my way through all of the forums and features but am working on it. My wife is non supportive so that limits my activities.

Anyway, if you can't find what you want - ask. There is someone who can help.

Good luck!
Hugs
Susan

Sorry if I mispoke, I meant that I have a LESS than supportive partner.=(  But thank you all for the welcome!
