HI everyone.  My name is Julie.  I have been visiting Susan's place for a long time and have been hooked on reading all the forums.  I thought it's about time I join in and participate.  I'm middle aged...was born with male genitalia.  I'm still trying to figure out where I fit in.  I have a very strong female presence within me.  I would much rather have been born a woman.  I wish I was a woman.  On the other hand...I don't hate my penis...I don't regard it as a birth defect like some of the other girls.  I have cross dressed my whole life and can't get away from that.  As time goes on I do more things to feel more feminine.  I'm not sure if I will go for hrt.  I'm leaning in that direction.  But I won't fully transition.  I feel like it's just too late in life for me.  If I was 20...I wouldn't be a man at 25.

Julie,
  Welcome to Susan's!  You will hear from the usual suspects here on Susan's welcoming you and the list of rules. 
  I get senior discounts, if that is how old your are as well.  My situation is the same as yours except I didn't crossdress.  I said that I will not fully transition too, but the HRT really changed things here.  My finances is the thing preventing me to transition fully.  I hope that you are seeing a doctor or therapist on this.

Hi Julie, nice to meet you! I'm 49 and just started crossdressing 2 years ago. There are lots of girls here of all ages, my advice is start now if it's what you want! Hugs, Tracey
