Hi, I'm Carla

[Carla1965]

I'm a 56 years old transwoman. I began my transition recently, after that denied the woman inside of me, the whole life. I had a rough childhood and tried to be a good boy, later good husband and father. But now all my children become adult, so now it is my time to live my life as a woman. It's going to be a tough journey and I feel myself rather alone here in Sweden, but I can't give up. I'm looking forward to learn from yours experience here.

[Carolyn Marie]

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Carla!  It's nice to meet you.  I'm glad that you're in a place in your life where you find the freedom to be the woman you were always meant to be.  That is a wonderful feeling.  I started my transition at almost the same age and the last 10 years or so have been very happy and fulfilling.

 

I don't know what the process is in Sweden, but hopefully there are gender therapists you can access.  Seeing one will surely benefit you.  Please look around the forums and see the variety of topics you can ask questions in.  We'll be here for you.

 

HUGS

As I mentioned in personal message you have found a wonderful haven with wonderful people a few of which you've met above.

[Charlize]

Welcome Carla.  You are certainly not alone.  Many of us are older, finding that it is time to be honest about who we are.

Glad you've joined us.

 

Hugs,

@Carla1965  Welcome!  Our gender journeys are seldom short, sometimes there are pauses, but not giving up is a good attitude to have.

Welcome @Carla1965 Glad to have you here as a member. Like you and @Carolyn Marie, I too started my final transition at age 56. Now at 59, I’m happier than I’ve ever been despite several recent setbacks (and covid). It is never too late to start living authentically. It’s very difficult to live otherwise as we’ve experienced in our past.

 

I hope your journey is a smooth one and hope to read more about it as it is experienced. Please feel free to share what you’re comfortable sharing. So many of us can learn from successes and even the difficulties in one’s journey.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R🌷

Just a quick reminder of the forum rule #7:  All posts and conversations held at TransPulse must be in English. Our staff speaks only English, and we must be able to effectively moderate all content.

While i am sure what has been written here is not counter to decent taste as a fellowship we share with all in one language understood by all.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

[Astrid]

Sorry, Charlize.  I'll remember!

 

By the way, does that apply also to PMs? 

 

Thanks,

 

Astrid

No, it does not.
