Hi all,
I am new to this website. In short, after 30+ years of living in hell, I finally find out two weeks ago, that I am an MTF transsexual. Anyway, I finally spoke to my therapist after my work and family had been affected by me. She was a very kind and understanding person and I was able to get out my deep secret, I felt like there was a mistake in giving me this body. I know that I am supposed to be a woman, but I've never told anyone about it. It took every ounce of strength for me to tell even my therapist (I know, sounds ridiculous), but I finally did. The best thing was that she was going to try to get this secret out of me slowly, but I told her before anything else. I wanted to open my own door with my own strength. While my heart was beating incredibly hard, it felt so right to get it out of my system.
Now I am trying to learn how to cope with myself and deal with my newly found confidence in myself. This has been a freight train of feelings. I must be honest, I still don't know much about having gender dysphoria, but I am still learning.
The interesting part about all this is that I have five wonderful children and a great wife.
I am excited to be able to know what is wrong/right about me and that there is a way to enjoy life to its fullest.
All I ask is that you please be patient with me, but if you have any sugestions or comments, please feel free to let me know as I am always looking for help to better my life and ease my challenge.
Comment by Nicole Aime on December 12, 2010 at 11:12pm It is so liberating to figure out who you are. Let's rejoice in your discovery. Figuring out how to live out who you are is complicated. You are not going to figure that all out in your next therapy session! So, before you worry about how this will effect your life, your family, your career, etc. Let us know more about you. I assume from what you have written that you are in your 30s. How long have you been married? Your kids must be fairly young. When did you first feel that your gender was out of sync with you body? What does that feel like? At this time do you feel that transition is a possibility, or a necessity? Those kinds of things.
You will find an incredible diversity in what I call realities on this site. Read, chat (if that's your thing), write, make friends. You do have to be a friend with someone to send a private message here. But the beauty of this site in in the openness - We are one! I rarely use private messages and have written some very private and personal things in blogs and in comments, because I felt that that information may help someone avoid my mistakes. Be wise in what you chose to write.
Alright, let's see where this goes. - Good night.
