    I came out to myself! After all this time of thinking this might be a mistake, I finally said it to myself out loud.

    I'm transgender!

    It felt great, like a huge weight was lifted from my chest. I felt my heart race, and then I felt a huge grin creeping across my face. My eyes welled with tears. It's me. I'm transgender. I'm a dude. I'm a guy. I'm a man. I've finally embraced it.

    Strangely enough, my husband does not have a problem with this. In fact, he pretty readily embraced it. It took me a while to explain myself, but once I did, he was really happy that I realized who I am. He's glad to see my happy and free, and he said that he loves me for me. That's not changing just because of how I present myself. Male is what I am, and it's great that I've finally just admitted it to myself instead of just toying with the idea, or just the possibility of it in some cases. I know I've brought this up before, but I still second-guessed it. Now I am 100% sure. It's me. :slight_smile:

    Thank you all so much for being supportive. I love you all! (&&&)

    It really is an awesome feeling when you come out to yourself! I was there a couple of weeks ago. It's awesome that your husband is supportive of you!

    Congrats!

    Congrats Jade, mate. :grin: Glad to hear you've finally come to accept yourself and your husband's supportive. Wish I could get to that point myself.

    I'm a bit new to the forum, but I wanted to send my congratulations on coming out and accepting yourself. It's great that your husband is supportive too. It's gotta feel amazing to have that weight just, well, gone.

    Again, congrats!
