Hi Folks! I'm Julie. I realized I was a (trans)woman a little more than a year ago and am only out to one person. I was reluctant to join any forums because I have not been planning hormonal or anatomical transitions, and felt somehow invalid. I didn't mind feeling a little invalid, since I was used to feeling like a fraud -- putting on the "man show" all my life. Lately, however, I find that I am indeed undergoing a transition. How I carry myself is different. How I wear my hair is different. How I interact with people, how I dress, how I shop ... all these aspects of myself have transitioned away from imposed gender expectations to a more natural and comfortable me. I feel like my heart is firmly at the helm, instead of some fearful stranger. I'm thrilled to join this community and look forward to listening and contributing. Julie

Welcome! I'm Kai. It feels nice to shed all of those expectations and to be able to be who you feel most comfortable being! Julie is my husband's favorite feminine name, btw.

Don't let that invalidate you Julie. You are valid as long as you are breathing. Transgender is something that is not measured about how far you want to go or not go at all even. It is who you are on an intimate level with yourself and no one else. But putting on the "Man Show"? Don't feel alone in the world because a lot of us do that. Even the "Woman Show". So never let that invalidate you. You are valid because you are human. If some can't understand it then it doesn't invalidate who you are in the least. You are the only one that can validate yourself. Not family, not friends, not strangers on the street or not me or anyone else here. BTW, welcome and I am happy to have you here. I too am not on HRT or planning SRS either but I don't feel invalidated. If some redneck form Arkansas can be openly a trans woman then anyone can be. We are kind of backwards up there sometimes.

I have to put on the "Man show" at work but it's full woman show at home now. Even at work I have been throwing in a little femme here and there. Bracelets, sweater, camis under my work shirts. It's somewhat liberating to not hide who I am. But there is a time and place for it. :hugs: -- Jenn

Welcome to the forum, Julie. I'm so glad you found us! I present masculine IRL, but I'm pretty much a woman on the inside. I think we'll have a lot to talk about!
Make yourself at home - you'll find some amazing, supportive people here.

Hi Julie, I'm Amber. It's so nice to have you here. Truly, this is the place to relax and just be yourself, even if you haven't figured that all out. No one is going to judge you here, and I think you'll find many who've shared similar experiences. If there's one thing I could add, it's that you may end up thinking of this place and these wonderful people as sort of an adopted family. We are here for each other, and we are here for you.
