    I'm terrible at introductions so bare with me. Hi, my given name is Jason. I was born male and finally come to accept that I am a transgender female. I have started speaking to a therapist to help me in the process of transitioning and what else may be wrong with me.(My therapist is also transgender)

    I spent most of my teen years and most of my 20's isolating myself from other people. Afraid to get to know people because they might "find out about me". Had many failed relationships and am almost ashamed to admit that I am still a virgin. I also spent most of my 20's trying to escape reality through music and video games(World of Warcraft mostly) and other ways to escape to keep me from feeling pain or feeling anything for that matter. Even had passing thoughts of suicide as well so I wouldn't have to continue with the struggle of my life because I was becoming weary.

    I hope that this can be the place that helps me to open up to the world and stop the isolation that my parents and I have placed upon myself. Thank You:icon_bigg

    This is a very good place, and we have a lot of trans members here.

    Warm welcomes, Adrienne
