Hello,
my name is Brianna, and I am a 50 year old trans woman in LA who knew something was different since I was around 5 years old and only recently felt capable of acting on this. I have been on hormones off and on for around 10 years and most recently for 1 1/2 years. I have been undergoing laser, electrolysis, growing my hair, etc. HOWEVER, I am in a very difficult situation since I am still married with children (ages 5 and 9) and in a very delicate situation in terms of custody and therefore unable to transition to fulltime because of this. I would appreciate meeting any friends and getting any help from women who are experienced in this area. Thanks!

Bree

Bree, welcome to the forum smile There are several women here in similar situations. You might want to check out this thread in particular: Anger and Resentment

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. "
John 9:2-3

Mahatma Ghandi, though a devout Hindu, was widely known to admire Jesus; Ghandi often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount, in fact. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Ghandi he asked him, "Mr. Ghandi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?"
Ghandi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."

Hello Bree, welcome to forum and the club, as Hope has already pointed out, there are lots of us who are (or in my case recently have been) in the same situation. We feel your pain! Good luck girl!
