Hi everyone! I've battled with gender identity issues my entire life. I've finally come to the conclusion that transitioning from ftm is what's right for me. I literally spend all my free time looking up info and reading other's stories and it gives me so much hope that for the first time in my life I actually feel genuinely happy with my life and what I can do with it. I've been so lost for so long and I want to tell everyone this huge secret but have no idea where to start. I'm married with kids, so i'm stuck in a really hard place. I know that I have to tell my husband but all i've been able to do is casually bring up questions out of the blue to him, like, "would you still love me if I didn't have boobs", or "if I cut my hair really short", "started dressing more like a man.." etc etc. He always just wonders why I ask him the most random questions. I've only told one close friend, and he is convinced that i'm a lesbian! Even though i'm not attracted to women in the slightest. He doesn't understand that I just feel like a male in my head but what I see in the mirror doesn't match I called today and made an appointment with a therapist that is experienced with gender identity issues so i'm very excited to go and talk to her and hear her insights. Anyway, sorry for the novel but I feel like the world around me is so completely different now and i'm excited to find others who have gone the route and how they've faired so far
All I have done is come out on campus, wear guys stuff, bind/pack, cut hair, and will see a therapist hopefully next week before school lets out. Any questions/discussions are cool with me.
