where do i go from here

[abbieS]

hi all people here. i am 52 yrs person who is a closeted trans. the reason why i am closeted is my own brother doesnt like the way i am feeling. he told he would diszone me if i keep acting this way. ever since the age of 11 yrs old is when i felt different inside. i wore my moms dress and stockings. as i said i am 52 yrs old now and i am more happier dressed and feeling like a woman than being a man. i like talking to non judgemental people. by the way i am from canada (the east coast)

Welcome to the Forums, others will be along soon to join in the welcome.  Your story is typical of stories we have heard and in some cases even told.

Hi, Abbie. 

 

I am sorry you do not have support from your family and neighbours.  We will do what we can to support you here.

 

I live just outside of Kentville.  It is not all bad in this province.

 

Regards,

Kathy

Hello Abbie,

 

I'm 52 and just started transitioning a couple years ago.  I've had some ups and downs with it.  It's been great though and the people on this site are wonderful.  Welcome to TGP!

 

Hugs,

Lydia

I think we all feel that way right now, Abbie. The news is often filled with anti-trans articles and reports of anti-trans policies and laws being put forth. As others have said, though, it appears to be mostly the vocal majority that is getting all the coverage and traction.

 

There are still many supportive, caring and helpful people out there willing to accept us for who we are.

 

Hang in there. 

 

Have you considered working with a gender therapist? Most of us have found much help in finding our way through transition through working with a therapist.

In my opinion you need to live life for yourself. I waited 32 years to come out. Mostly in self-denial. Happiness won't come from anyone but yourself. Self love is far more important than most people think. You're never going to tap into your true potential if you keep it bottled up.
