:(I'm 38 and have felt like i was in the wrong body since i can remember being alive, i always used to dress in my mum and sisters clothes probably before i can even remember. My family always used to joke about it which used to make me feel embarassed but it still didnt stop me, i used to pinch underwear and stash them in my room so no one could find them. My sisters used to put make up on me and im not sure whether they found it funny or not but i used to love it. As the years have gone by the desire to change my sex hasnt changed. Unfortunately i now have 2 kids and have been in a ong term relationship for nearly 20 years!! My biggest problem is that i am from Liverpool which is a working class type of city,which makes it even harder coming out. I wish i could just go to hospital now and change everything and just get on with my life as a woman but i know that is just dreaming. When i read about other people in my situation i think everyone deserves a medal because to come out and tell your family and freinds about what you are and what you want to be is the bravest thing anyone can do. Its good to have these type of forums because when i read about what other people have had to go through i know i'm not alone which gives me hope and the courage to seek what i have always wanted all my life even though i know these next few years are probabaly going to be the most difficult i have ever faced.
I am going to see my doctor and tell him how i feel which am sure will shock him. He probabaly never has anyone from my area asking about it.
I'm scared but i'm happy i have joined this site because i have never had anyone to talk to about this ever, in fact its quite surreal that i am even typing this introduction.
I hope i can find freinds to talk to here
