Hi I'm Emily Rose

[Guest]

Hi and thanks for adding me to your community.  I am a transfeminine AMAB transwoman.  I'm anxious to share with other members and hope to be able to help if I can. I am older than most just starting out at 70. But I've realized that I cannot continue on in life without some help. So I've been in therapy for a year and have just began HRT 2 months ago. I have known all my life how I feel inside but have suppressed those feelings. And I don't want to any longer. I hope I can be a positive addition to the community and am so happy to be able to share my thoughts in a positive, supportive place.

Welcome to the Forums, @Emily Rose, by this time next week I will be76 years old, but now out for about 14 years and thought I was way too old then to come out.  Enjoy yourself here, and take part as you wish or need to do.

Welcome Emily Rose! Thank you for sharing. I'm 64 years old and just starting to discern what transition will mean for me. I've found this forum to be a positive, supportive place.

Yes I think it will be. I need alot of support as I'm still so unsure about everything.  But one thing I know is I have to try. Convincing myself that I don't need this is what I did for most of my life and it hasn't helped

Thank you. I intend to. I wish I were able to start sooner. But there's no time like the present. I need to.

Thank you so much Mindy. I know.  I wish it could have started early. I was always who I am and I knew it. But the times and the familial responsibilities were too much. I'm excited and unsure. But small steps now.

Nice to meet you @Emily Rose! and Welcome!

 

It's never too late, as you will find here on the Forum (myself included).  Congratulations on the progress you've made already, and look forward to hearing more from you.

Deep breaths ... one step at a time

Thank you. I know what your saying and I appreciate so much the positive responses from everyone. I feel it is surely something I must move forward with. The unsure feeling is always there though.  And I'm learning to deal with it. Thank you, Em.

Welcome, welcome Emily Rose ... beautiful user name by the way... best wishes on your journey... 

[Guest]

Thank you so much. That is my chosen name and I feel it shows the beauty that I feel inside. I love expressing that, it is the real me! Sincerely, Emily.

Emily Rose- Welcome to you and your incredibly positive attitude. I don't believe that it's ever too late to follow your dreams. I realized one day that I had to make myself happy too. I was too fixated on other's happiness and neglected my own. It didn't work. One day, I just woke up and thought to myself that I didn't want to die as a man, that's not who I am. I am a WOMAN, and I deserve to live as one. So I do!

[Guest]

Thank you Mysti! I totally agree with you. Sometimes i get so tired of fighting and pretending.  Life is short and I've wasted alot of it trying to suppress things. So for me staying positive and going out as much as I can helps so. It's, for me, the only way forward.
