Hello all, I tried to think of something witty, or sarcastic, or at least different, but alas. So I will go with the standard this is me intro.
I am MtF transgendered, I haven't started seeing a therapist or taking hormones yet. I am hoping to start therapy in December and then move on from there. I intend to do HRT and SRS, subjective of course to the therapist ok'ing it.
I grew up in a very strict fundamentalist Christian household, where some of my earliest thoughts were of being female. I somehow knew my parents wouldn't understand so I proceded to bury it, trying to fit in as best as I could and usually ended up crying myself to sleep. As time progressed, my parents got stricter, and I withdrew more and more. I avoided all social interaction and buried myself in books. A few times I managed to sneak a few minutes in my sister's or even my mom's clothes, but the moments were few and far between.
Fast forward to now, I've been ignoring the feelings and hiding them for my whole life until a few months ago when I finally came clean to my wife of 5 years. Much to my surprise she understood and had already figured out I was transgendered. We immediately went shopping and I have been living life as Ayana every since, except for work.
Work, well that's a different story, my boss has similiar views as my parents. You know the type, gays and lesbians will burn in hell etc. etc. So, the plan for now is to hide at work, save money, and quit before transitioning. My wife has a good career, and is amenable to me being a homemaker, at least for a while. Of course a therapist may not see it that way lol.
But anyway, just wanted to join a community of like minded people, swap ideas and hopefully walk away with some new friends.
P.S. Sorry for the long-winded intro, I got a little carried away lol
