4 years ago, joining TG Guide was my first step to seek information about transitioning to determine if it was right for me.

Seems hard to believe, so much has happened since, but only 4 years ago I didn't have a clue what it was, this "thing called transitioning", but I was sure I was transgender.  I began my journey at age 64, and it will never end, to say the least!☺️ 

Much more to come.

Actually, I have to say I "began" my journey at a very young age; I have little doubt, at birth.  I now can acknowledge that everything I did throughout life, I simultaneously imagined myself as "Jessica".  You see, my self-image never matched my outward appearance and I always compared what I thought my life would have been like if it did. With EVERYTHING I did.  Growing up, friends, relationships, family, work, play, sports, school, business and career, disappointments and accomplishments.  I had never met anyone transgender, except several times when a trans woman in her early stages of coming out would dine in my restaurant with a few of her support group. They may have viewed me as hospitable, welcoming, and respectful, but in reality, I was fascinated. That was 1996, and I would keep my secret tight until 2018 when I began to really understand, address and accept my eventual mortality.  The time was then or never.

Jessica, I knew I was Lesbian (and an empath since four years old - although it took decades for me to find the right words.

I am so happy you found closure, as I have!

Your friend,

Monica

used to think that the few occasions throughout my life that I had tried on woman's clothing I was crossdressing.  Now that I live my life in my authentic gender and have since 2019, I now understand clearly that when I presented most of my life as a man, THAT was when I was doing the crossdressing.  Free now and forever.
