Hello all you wonderful people. My name is Paige (not legally but every where on the internet) I'm a 22 year old MTF. I have know i was trasngender since i was very young but I have always been afraid of how people would treat me. Growing up I knew my family wouldn't approve my mom probably would have been understanding but i knew my dad disliked the gay community so i just hid everything. Having 3 brothers didn't really help my situation any (im sure some f you know how cruel and judgmental brothers can be). My parents knew i was upset and had me go to a therapist who just wanted to put me on anti depressants and poof all my problems would go away. I came out to my family can the few friends i had in my senior year of high school. a few of my friends refused to talk to me after that but the others were supportive, My parents refused to help in anyway and forbid me form doing anything towrd my goal of being who i really am while under my roof. my dad told me that i was just taking the easy way out and i didn't give being male a chance. that brings me here. I'll stop rambling now....

Hi Paige,

Welcome to our little family. Over 6911 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another sister.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I've hid the real me so long I'm not sure where to start being the real me

Hi Paige,

A warm Aussie welcome to you! Step one to being the real you is to just relax and allow your instincts to take over.. The real you is there..

Hugs,
Kelly
