    Hi guys!!
    Just wanted to post a newbie message #original I know :lol:

    I am a 24 year old female. I have been dating my partner for 15months and he recently came out to me as trans. We have started along this journey and he is finally starting to get the help to become the real her!!

    Searching online I came across this site and from reading a few posts I feel I have come to the right place!

    So if anyone who reads this has any clue or wants to post me in the right direction of which forum to post in....help would be greatly appreciated

    Thaaaaank you :lol:

    Hi and welcome to EC. First I would like to say you are awesome for being so supportive, it'll mean the world, trust me.

    Now the support area has a couple subforums that might be helpful so poking around there maybe might be beneficial.
    Best of luck and hope you like it here. :slight_smile:

    You sound awesome! ^^

    I hope you get every information and support you need, both for yourself and for her!

    There are several forums you can post in around here. Look through them and maybe read a couple of threads and see where your post will fit in better.

    I wish you guys the best of luck! And keep on being that supportive, it's amazing and it helps a great deal! :slight_smile:

    Aye, heya! Hope you like it here and find the support you're looking for. Things can be a little confusing at first but you've already taken the initiative by accepting your girlfriend and coming here. It's a lot more than most people do!

    As for what part of the forum to post about it in, I'd say one of these two depending on the situation.

    Gender Identity and Expression: Gender Identity and Expression - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people coming out

    Family, Friends, and Relationships: Family, Friends, and Relationships - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people coming out

    Wish you both luck anyways!
