    I feel a lot better since I started transitioning 7 months ago.I knew for a long time there were feelings I was born the wrong gender when I was 5 years old.My parents did see it and somehow ignored it.It was finally in July that I finally came out as transgendered.My ex wife did not accept it at all and left me.It did end up in divorce.It was hard for my sons whom are 17 and 14 years old at first and have learned very well about I have.My family,it was very hard for them and we are currently working things out.It was during the starting of the divorce that I did start seeing a therapist whom I still see.Diagnosed me with gender dysphoria and have been on the estrogen and testosterone blockers since September.So far I am happy with the results.Plus I have a great supportive girlfriend Lisa and she has been so great about it.Her family has accepted me in with open arms already.I have already decided not to have the GRS and have surgeries scheduled already.Having my face done,the FFS,breast augmentation and tracheal shave done in June.
