Hi everyone, I am new to this site but wanted to say hi. I am on my quest for self acceptance and beyond... wish me luck...... i look forward to finding many new friendships here. Kelsey

Hello I am Brittany from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Im 36. What brought me here is the simple fact that I live in the middle of the bible belt. So lgbtq is not strong here. But it all boils down to this: My husband supports me as best he can. But I have no friends to help me navigate my journey. As a result I am feeling like the walls are closing in.

Well, I've decided to start trying to figure some things out. I'm in my late twenties and have been questioning for about a year. I'm biologically male and I've been comfortable with that until recently. Now I don't really know. I've always wondered what it would be like to be a woman and have fantasized about it often, but I've never thought of myself as being trans. Sometimes I use female psuedonyms online, and when I do, I'm able to express myself more honestly. That's mostly what has me thinking. So, I'll see where this leads me. I'm looking forward to learning more about my own identity and the experiences of others.

Hello,I am Liz and live and dress as female now.I say it was about the age of 7,there was something about me that was not right.Felt my true gender indentity has always been female and living as male was a huge lie.It was finally when I was 20 finally coming out about it.Dad accepted it right away.My mom and her side of the family completely shut me out.Lost my good friends all over it too.My dad,I am glad he is still in my life including his side of the family.Strongest part was I met new friends that accepted me in,they are transgendered,pre and post op transsexuals.Final decision was live my life living and dressing as female after seeing a therapist which there have b…

Hiya, y'all!!! My name is Jennifer!!!! I am 32 years old, and I realized just last year that I am M2F transgender. I was in denial about it though, but it wasn't until I started writing in a journal about my feelings that I truly realized that I was transgender. I had discovered that all of the signs were there when I was younger, but back then, I had no idea what being transgender even meant, and so it was easy to overlook it. Now that I have moved passed the denial stage, I am just trying to understand it all. I haven't transitioned or even gone to see a gender therapist yet, I have merely been dressing in feminine clothing in secret, practicing putting on makeup, and..…

Hi! My name is Dory, I'm at this current moment in time 22 years old, I work a meaningless job as a cold calling market researcher (worst job ever!) and I'm here to introduce myself. I've been gender confused since I was about 14? Maybes. Crossed dressed a number of times through out the years, but never out in public. Only told one other person about my gender confusion and didn't go well. I dunno exactly if I am male (current sex I was born) female, somewhere in between or even neither, but whatever I am I feel apart of the transgender community (if you'll have me haha). So basically on here for support/like minded people/for fun Also on Twitter @RudeyOnABike (…

A little about myself, originally from the east coast, moved to Oregon in 1994. Began electrolysis in 1995, first letter done for SRS in 2005, got off track till 2013 when my second letter was done. Started hormone treatment three months ago. Been living as a female since 2009. My passion was teaching self-defense which is what side tracked my progress but in 2009 that took a backseat to my female self. Currently my main passion (and has been since my late teenage years) is playing guitar. I have joined here to find like-minded people :-)

I am a 65 year old healthcare worker 3 years into my transition. Still living a double life but getting closer to my goal and excited for my future. Living in Rapid City South Dakota and feeling a little alone. Irrepressibly, Colleen

I am a man who should have been born a girl. As a child I did not like boy play; I preferred girl’s styles; and I was an avid reader including reading all of the Little House on the Prairie books written from Laura’s point of view. I could not play boys sports and struggled to fit in with groups of boys. For example at summer camp, I spent all of my time doing crafts. Later, in high school I adapted managing to fit in as a male, but was never really popular because I was not masculine enough. Dating was a nightmare. I hated to be the one to ask girls out and be rejected, oh to have been the girl instead! In college these issues became less important. I remember b…

Hey everyone. i'm Alex. Originally from Chicago but now I'm in the Kansas City area. Don't really know what else to write so i'll just say, hello. Nice to meet you all.

Thank you for accepting me. I have recently decided to quit fighting these feelings I've had my whole life. As I'm still new at this and trying to both learn and understand, I'm hoping to find a friend nearby I can talk to, learn from, and help me along the way. Thank you so much. 💘

Hello all I'm a male 37yrs old happily married with a daughter... I've known since I was about 9 or 10 yrs that I was different and that i wanted to be a girl... it all started when i put on a pair of panties...it all started as a fetish but as i got older i realized it wasn't.. my wife is ok with me wearing panties..im not attracted to men at all so I need help to figure out what is going on with me.. I currently wear panties under my work clothes which my wife approves of.. I've been secretly hiding womens clothing when I'm home alone... its not a crossdressing thing I know that b/c i dont get arousal by it and it feels natural.. I've been secretly taking herbs for br…

Just a short note, so folks will know where I'm coming from. Since I was seven, I knew something was wrong. Born male, I would frequently go to sleep, praying I would wake up female in the morning. Try as i might, I never 'fit in.' Never having any interest in men, I was often assumed to be gay. I tried many jobs, had many adventures- all in the hope of finding my place in life. Around 1990 I was in Chicago, and began to transition. I was about 32 then. Dressing in leggings and tunics, with womens' shoes, I was right at that magical point where folks began to think I was female. I sought HRT, but was put off by the various barriers put in by the gatekeepers back then. I l…

Hello everyone! I am a big supporter of the community. For the last few years I've been working with my own son. He is going to be five and I know that is very young, so we are not making any decisions. I am just supporting who he is by letting him express himself anyway he chooses. We have had to stand behind him and inform people that toys don't have gender and that he is allowed to play with and wear what he wants. He is young so I do not know what the future holds. This could be a phase but since it's been going on since 2 I doubt it. Either way, whatever he chooses, I just want to be the best mom ever. I will be by his side always. A little support and understanding…

I'm Eyrka. I'm a laid back crossdresser just looking for a cool place to be myself on the internets. Looking forward to chatting with everyone. Have a nice day.

Hi All: First i would like to say i admire all who have the courage to embrace this path. I am not sure how far down it i will go as i have been led to this point by a slightly different path. My motivations were to manage my Inner demons and really bad skin through Homeopathic/hollistic means. As my body and mind began to unify i realized what exactly was occuring (Aromitization) and although i continued on the regiment for a few more weeks i eventually stopped. I had only a couple of years left before i would be free from the day to day of being a single parent. I had waited 38 years to correct a bad incarnation, and that is where i am now. Responsible to and for o…

I am new here, just thought I would say hello. I am one of those who really waited much too long to accept that I was TS, but I have studied GID and TS for a long time. I have been in gender therapy since July, on my second therapist (much better than the first), I've been on Spiro for a couple months, my therapist just approved me for HRT, should get my scrip in a couple weeks or so. My wife of 30 years just left this weekend, but it is a relatively amicable separation. She understands, but she has her own developmental issues. Two grown kids. Transition is something I have wanted since I was a teenager, but it still scares me; but not transition per se, but all…

Gidday from Canada, I was diagnosed, well, more like self-diagnosed so my therapist says, earlier this year which brought me through a "necessary" emotional roller coaster. After much therapy I have come to embrace who I am as I've finally understood I wasn't nuts or insane after 48 years! This brought me to make the decision to move forward with my transition no matter what. I live in beautiful Gatineau, Quebec (yes I'm French) and proud to work for our federal government where I perform a service which helps fellow Canadians. I consider myself extremely lucky to be where I am career wise considering what I have been through during my crazy lifetime! Like most of us…

I am so happy to have found this site, I mean I am absolutely thrilled ! I have read many things, researched things, and so far made a few friends. About me, well I am not willing to share what I do for a living, no it's not bad it's just between friend is all and if you a real friend then you'll know. Now listen to me and this is my story; At age 4 years old I was and knew myself to be a little girl, yet although I was anatomically made incorrect I tried so hard to just be me and it wasn't easy because I am the eldest son of seven and my father was a US Navy SEAL and worked for the CIA so trying to me wasn't as easy because my mother who accepted me told me that I couldn…

hi everyone! am new to tgguide,have been on several other LGBT forums before but left them because they had some pretty agressive members on them and quite trollish users so am looking for a friendly community. am age thirty and have only been officialy out as transgender for the past...nearly one year but had been actively transgender for entire life without realising it;am classic autistic and have mild intelectual disability which have both affected understanding of gender and sexuality,am also the most extreme form of asexuality-never had any sexuality yet have spent many years being called gay. am hoping to get the chest op as this has been a massive issue for s…

Hello, I'm new here. Don't know what else to write.

Hi, I am Confused1. I am here to help keep my sanity while I figure out who I am and will be in the future. My account disappeared in the last few hours and don't know why. My username and email were available again so here I go again. About a week ago I was getting ready for bed and taking off a sweatshirt and my tshirt got pulled up so that my wife saw that I was wearing a sports bra. Her initial response was to ask if I was transitioning and that she could not be married to a woman. I told her that I had no intention of becoming a woman, but since then, I have done a lot of self searching and am not sure where I am at other then I don't think I fit the mo…

Just popping in to say hello. Anxious to meet new people and share experiences! ~Justice-Persephone <3

Hey everybody, I'm Amber and I am really glad I found this forum. There seem to be a lot of cool people and I am definitely going to need some support in all kinds of ways. I hope I can provide some support to the rest of you, but I am a new gurl so I will be learning from you. I look forward to chatting with you and growing together as women. Amber G.
