Hi-I'm not sure where I am on the gender spectrum but right now I think it's somewhere in the middle (boy born). I've known this for most of my life and like others tried to suppress it resulting in an unhappy depressed life where I was checked out most of the time. I say tentative because after six years of admitting to myself that I'm transgendered (and trying to make it go away), I've been diagnosed with GID (which makes me feel validated in some small way) but haven't told any one else in my life who I am. This post in this forum and two doctors. That's it. For today anyway. The list of issues, names of people, and concerns about life changes seem insurmountable. I feel tentative because I'm soooo happy, but afraid and lost at the same time. Don't worry, I rarely talk about myself in the third person, but thought the title of the post fit. :rolle: Be well.
I am so happy you are coming to grips with who you are! Being trans as well I know where you have been and the happiness you will find when you are true to yourself which will take you to happiness! June
