Branching out

[ChelseaAnn]

Hello everyone, my name is Chelsea. I was born male but dream to be female. That dream is getting closer, but has been snagged from me a few times. 

 

I'll keep things short, because I have a blog which describes things in more detail if you're interested. I came out back in 2013, only a few months after my son was born. I was cross dressing while my wife was at work and my son slept. I came to a realization that I wouldn't be able to hide it forever, and took the big step.

 

After nearly divorcing, my life is back on track and my wife and I have a five year old and a two year old. I have a great job, which isn't aware of my plans yet. Transition is only a few years away, even though I was weeks away from starting at the beginning of last year.

 

I was suicidal not long after I came out, and have only had thoughts a few times since, when large snags came up that made it seem like I'd never be able to transition. I'm good now though.

 

I came here to seek new friends and discuss things, as well as help those who are where I was five years ago. I'd really like to have a few friends who are trans or anything on the spectrum. I have some great friends (read family) who are 100% supportive, but only 2 who are under the trans community. So I am really looking for someone to be able to talk to who I can be openly honest and understanding with.

Hi Chelsea

 

      Wow, I am happy things are finally going so well for you. I am not sure what I am just yet I was born male and know that I feel female. I am still on a road of discovery about myself. If you'd like to talk I'll listen.

Hello Chelsea and welcome.  I think you'll find friends here who can support you.  Please join in the conversation and post your own questions or observations.  I'm glad to hear your family life has returned to order.   Having a supportive family is great.

Hi Chelsea, welcome!!! Everybody around here is super friendly, so this is a great place to start looking for new friendships. Hope you stick around!!!

Welcome Chelsea.  Your path sounds similar to mine except i just back into hiding for years only to go full time at 63.  This journey isn't easy at any age.  It certainly helped me to know i wasn't alone.

Glad you've joined us.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Hey sister! I have a 5 year old too, and it’s certainly an interesting extra ingredient in the transition process so far. lol If you wanna chat about the joys and challenges of Kindergarteners and gender, feel free to message me! :)
