Hey all, sorry if this is heavy but I've just came out as transgender to my friends and family. I've been feeling these feelings for years and I had to get them out. Even though i dont know many on this forum, i thought people should know. Hopefully people i know in the community can accept me as my true self, as a woman.

OK.

**Hordini**

I wish you the best of luck.

Cool story bro. (Thats my way of saying congrats, but this isnt the kind of thing that anyone should care about, as its your life to do with as you see fit, and nobody elses

).

**AegisGrimm**

I've always believed that you have to do what seems right to you, as long as it's not something that hurts other people.

Hell, I used to LARP with a "woman" who used to be a man. Frankly when I learned the fact from someone else after seeing the person at events for a couple of years, it was really just one of those "shrug" moments. I was never close to them so I couldn't see how it mattered to me even in the least, so I kept playing like nothing changed.

I hope you can be accepted by everyone that matters, and who cares about the rest.

Congrats on being true to yourself and being confident enough to tell those in your life.

**toasteroven**

I hope it's going well for you, and that you are safe and accepted by those important to you.

You aren't alone here, either. *waves*

**Ahtman**

Ok

**Forar**

Kudos for having the courage to embrace who you really are among friends, family, and those you share yourself with in this vast digital landscape.

Not an easy thing to do.

I have been following a band "Steam Powered Giraffe" and one of the members is going through the process ("Bunny").

These are videos she has been putting out to talk thru the process, appears to be helpful to others.

Hope it is all going well.

**Jehan-reznor**

Good luck, Will your forum name now change to Brianna?

**SagesStone**

Alrighty then, congrats on being able to find the strength to do that for yourself.

Good deal. Now the more important part:

"And? As I tell my daughter, I don't care if your friends are gay, straight, or pretzels, I expect the same standard of behavior. "

**DarkTraveler777**

As others have said, good luck with your transition. No doubt the next few months/years will be exciting and challenging. I hope your network of family and friends are supportive during this new stage in your life, and kudos for having the courage to begin the transition process.

**ZoeDaze**

you can ask questions if you want. Therapist actually said it would be good as it makes people more comfortable with it.

My first question was if you were seeing a therapist. What is your game plan like? Like whats your next step?

**Iron_Captain**

I salute you for having the courage to come out with it.
How long have you been feeling this way? For as long as you can remember, or did you realise it at a later point in life?

**Co'tor Shas**

Congratulations. Never let anyone else define you.

**ZoeDaze**

ive got a review with the therapist in 4 weeks, meaning that if they think im ok to continue i can start hormone replacement therapy.

.How long have you been feeling this way?

ive always felt different but the feelings of wanting to be a girl have bee slowly developing for the last 6 years.
