Sandra’s transgender

[Sandra6sandy9sand]

Hi All, Sandra here

 

I have been visiting Laura’s for two or three years now and must have one of the girls removed by the new software. No problem for me other than I have not been able to complete my profile. 

 

Anyhow, after reading many individuals life experiences and doing some other research, I have concluded that I am transgender and not a cross dresser. I have looked back over the last 67 years (I started cross dressing and dreaming of becoming a girl at 6 or 7) of my life and realized that there is a woman locked inside me.

 

I’ve been a successful husband and father doing all the things that society and family have expected.  I am out to my wife who would prefer having only a man around the house but accepts, to some degree, my feminine side.

 

At 73 I do not want or could afford surgery.  The important thing to me is that I have accepted myself as a woman in a mans body and I can live happily for the rest of my life this way.

 

Thank you to all the ladies and gentlemen who have shared their life struggles on Laura’s and now transgender pulse.  I do not feel alone.

 

Hugs

Hello Sandra and welcome back.  We're glad you're here.  Accepting ones self is an important step to finding balance in life. I am so I am happy for you.  It really doesn't matter how old we are.  Thats good that your wife is accepting although I'm sure she finds it difficult to understand.  My own experience and as you've probably read here, is that we really don't change too much beyond the physical aspects.  Friends have commented that beyond the initial surprise they find I am the same person.  Hopefully your wife will experience your softer side and come to appreciate the complete person you now can be.

Welcome back Sandra.  I made a similar decision at 63 and have found that decision to open a wonderful period of my life filled with the freedom and honesty of simply being me.  Enjoy!

 

Hugs,

Hello Sandra. Welcome back. I believe that we should be who we want to be and live our lives how we want to. I've been dressing since I was 5 so like you a lifer. My SO recently learned of my dressing and my feminine side. Like yours she's accepting and tolerates me but doesn't get involved. There are so many wonderful ladies here. We are all one big family here and I'm glad to call them sisters. Hugs. Amber
