Hello Ladies,
I am a TS-lady and one of your members (Leanne from Canada) advised this forum to me.
I am in my late 40´s (no-not yet 50

)and after 1 year of therapy, my surrounding and myself has come to the conclusion that I am a transsexual and I have to decide what to do next.
As everyone has his own story, I have mine which sounds pretty familiar when I compare it with other sisters.
Perhaps with this difference that since many years now I feel more and more female and the inner female in me becomes stronger every day. Resulting in the fact that the male element becomes weaker every day.
As a male: I am almost a terror for my surrounding and day by day, acting as a male becomes more and more a nightmare.
At this moment, I just want to be alone and people start to reject me completely.
In mean time I have learned to accept the fact that I am a transsexual, even more a woman.
I have decided to go ahead with my transition and to take the sacrifices that are needed to achieve this result.
Transsexuality is just a proces for me, to become a woman is my aim. Once achieved, the process of being a transsexual will come to an end and the live of a woman will start.
For some of you, this is perhaps a different approach but I see too many people on the forums (I hope I am wrong but this is my humble opinion)that are stuck as a transsexual: they look like, think like and act like a transsexual. Somehow, their process isn´t finished.
I could go on for hours, but I will keep this as my introduction.
As you read this introduction, I might sound like a bit dry and unsensitive but I am not at all.
I have had years of suffering and I will still have difficult years to come but lately I have had so many negative experiences with beloved people around me not accepting who I am and not respecting my thoughts, interests and future aims, that I have decided to live the live I want to live and not the live others aspect me to live.
It is perhaps a new theme for a discussion
Anyway, I hope to make a lot of new friends on this forum and to exchange mutual experiences.
