a reintroduction

[Guest texmc26]

Hello all,

I've been on the forums for a couple months now and did an intro thingy but things have changed a bit since then. So I would like to reintroduce myself.

My story echos so many here, but the main point is I was born into the wrong body. I suffered with this in silence for 25 years until recently when I could no longer continue to deny my true self. When I first came here I was still unsure of myself and in a sense was in denial. But now I have accepted myself and that I am a MTF transsexual and I am trying to fix my birth defect. Ive been seeing a GT (the reason I'm doing a reintro is to become more involved in the community here for support before I come out. she wants me to explore all the options i have for support) and I am so much better off than I was two months ago, and I hope to start hormones later this year.

I got married to the love of my life a year and a half ago, however fear of loosing her has kept me from being totally honest with her. So for me the next big hurdle is telling her.

I am still not 100% what I want my new name to be but I am strongly leaning toward Megan.

So thats about all I have for now and I look to be participating more instead of standing silently in the corner watching you all have fun!

Love

Megan

Welcome once again, Megan. I'm glad you decided to become active again, as I think you'll need this place, given where you are and the decisions you need to make in the coming weeks and months.

Whatever you decide, we'll be here for you.

HUGS

You are traveling throught the same valley that many of us have traveled through. It sounds like you are desperately holding on to your wife and we understand and support you in this endeveor and wish you the greatest luck. Many spouses hang in there. Many do not. It's an impossible situation for many Megan as they are bot bi-sexual or lesbian woman. Making love to another woman is repugnant to them.

Hopefully taslk to them. Be as reasonable as you can and as kind as you can Megan. Good luck in your relationship. Kathryn

I'm glad you are back dear and hope you find the support you need. Your transition is so much like mine but i managed to hold out until the dam broke at 63. By then i had been married for 41 years. She was in pain for weels but we have slowly regained a life. When i first met her she was living in a house with several lesbians and she is not at all inclined in that direction. She has reminded me of that fact. that being said it has been wonderful to finally be honest. I also so enjoy her help in not messing up as a woman. We did not have a chance to be socialized. I never learned really how to dress. i thought short skirts and long legs were typical because they always drew my male eyes. Well most women don't dress that way if they are married and have settled down. I have finally settled down and am happy to be the older woman that i am.

Please keep us in your loop. Sharing with others can, think, help us grow.

Hugs,

Charlie

Thanks y'all!!! It's nice to have support from and be able to share with people who know what I've been through and am going through currently. The bits I've picked up here have been invaluable so far and I look forward to getting to know everyone better and hopefully one day be able to help someone the way y'all are helping me.
