Hi Everyone, old enough to know better! Transgender and still confused!!

Just wanted to say hi. 50 something, been the archetypal "Jock" (in appearance but not attitude), you know the tall muscular fit super athletic one that the girls liked and the guys wanted to be (sorry i really sound up myself but its just how its been). I have been blessed with a wonderful male body.....i don't hate it...ive been lucky even if only to be fit and healthy, so many are not...its just that i have always, for as long as I remember, wanted to be and felt totally female. I'm the one you would never guess was trans 🙂 i'm the big very male looking Maori bouncer on the door, but with the heart and soul of a woman. I'd love to change my appearance and have tried....I have learnt that its whats inside that counts and my insides are all female. If my body transformed over night into a female one I don't think my behaviour would change much? I try to be the gentle caring...sometimes a bit beer drinking and occasional swearing girl that i feel that iam 🙂 I guess my clothes would be better lol. I'm here because i need to find ways of expressing who I really am more openly...and i feel a bit silly and dislocated from the world.Thank you for listening.

Hi Trinny-scorpion,

Welcome to the forums. I don't have any experience in this but I thought I would say hi anyway. Thank you for being here. 🙂

I'm sure that you will get more responses but one of the things I'd like to recommend is this organisation called QLife. They have both phone support and a webchat (3pm to midnight), and they're a resource for all things LGBTQI+ They might be able to give you not only support, but ideas on how to express yourself more openly. Here's their website if you're interested - https://qlife.org.au/

Thank you for the link romantic 🙂 i will check it out. Thank you 🙂
