Finally coming out a year ago has been a great relief in my life.Growing up 3rd oldest of 4 brother,I knew was born the wrong gender at an early age.I was 9 years old at the time and hid it in the closet for a long time.Then in the middle of September of 2019,I felt unhappy and my family thought it was depression.Seen a therapist for that,they saw signs it was beyond depression.Finally referred me to another therapist dealing with transgender issues and that is when I finally came out.Said I always felt that I was born the wrong gender all my life.Finally got the answers being diagnosed with gender dysphoria.My wife,she wanted to see me happy and decided to stay with me.Telling my kids,it was tough and have adjusted very well knowing I am very happy now.My family,it was tough and got through it.My brothers knew a much happier sister was going to come out.So far they have done good treating me as a sister and don't miss that unhappy brother they had.Mom,it took a couple weeks to accept and knew I should of been born a girl.Dad it was very tough with him hitting him hard and he made it through it.He still has 3 sons and learned to love me as a daughter.Work,it wasn't hard,wrote a coming out letter stating I am transgender and going to transition.Good thing is my boss and co workers have been very 100% supportive.Happy part was hearing I was going on the male hormone blockers and estrogen in December of 2019.I knew 2020 was going to be good start,started taking the estrogen and male hormone blockers on January 2,2020 and have not looked back.Also started electrolysis too to remove any unwanted body hair.Fun part was shopping for my new wardrobe,wife was a great help with this.She also did pierce my ears as well.Learned well on the make up,went to a transgender friendly salon learning very well.Wife is amazed I learned very well on thisBeen loving the changes and did have the emotional swings twice.5th month into my transition,started living and dressing as Lisa fulltime and was glad my male wardrobe went good bye.My wife and I,we are much closer ever since I started my transition.In August,had my first surgery,the trachea shave which went great.In September,my legal name and gender change on my driver's license and birth certificate went through.Two weeks ago,went in for my consultation for the FFS and breast augmentation which is in January of 2020.The gender corrective surgery,not on my mind yet and have time for that to make the decision.Next month will be a milestone in my transition,my 42nd birthday as Lisa for the first time.I love my life now knowing I am finally happy seeing I am becoming the woman I have always seen myself as
