Hi, I'm Hannah!

[Hannah Sunai]

Hey everybody, it's nice to be here. 

 

My name's Hannah. I just put the pieces together that I'm a trans-woman a couple of months ago. I'm on hrt, and feeling pretty good right now. I'm a computer programmer, married to a very supportive woman, and I'm struggling a little with the identity issues that come with being trans. But, you know? Overall, the whole experience is a real adventure. My body's been changing for a while, and I'm happier with it than I've been for a long time. I am taking baby steps to live more authentically, and I feel like that's going pretty well. For the most part, I'm blessed by having supportive thoughtful people around me, I think. 

 

But, the problem is, while the people in my life are very supportive, and they try to be understanding... none of them really have much of a frame of reference to understand what I've been going through. I'm usually pretty positive, but sometimes it gets dark in here, and it helps to be able to reach out to other trans people who get the experience a little more. 

 

Really looking forward to being a member of this community.

Welcome Hannah! It’s good to have more new members here to share this experience with. I’m new at this too, and I’m finding it much easier to cope with everything just because this place exists.

Welcome to Trans Pulse forums Hannah, I so get this above, that's why we are here to help share things that might just fly right over (or under depending on your point of view) most people's heads. It's like how could they know ? Unless you've lived such things, many of what a person transitioning experiences is hard to describe to the person on the outside.  Have a look around the forums and join in the conversations, great to have you here dear.

 

Hugs

Hi Hannah, pleased to meet you, that is a wonderful approach to take! I get your statement about frames of reference though, the folks here understand the questions and many of the answers while some people with the best will in the world just do not get why you need to ask in the first place. ?
