Thanks. I plan to meet with them tomorrow and I hope they can help me out with my gender identity because I have been really stress out about it lately.

Spent all day rewatching Cromartie High Shcool.

I forgot how goddamn funny that show is.

Awesome! *audible sigh of relief*

I haven't seen that anime since it was on the old days of G4. Good times.

A couple of poorly aged jokes here and there but overall it still holds up quite nicely.

It's streaming on Amazon Prime free with ads.

After struggling with gender dysphoria for ages, I finally came out as transgender. I haven't told anyone else yet which is why I felt safer to post it here. Before coming out, I was never happy about my body and myself as a human being. Being at the age of 30, I'm finally ready to start a fresh new start in my life. It feels surreal that my life will be heading in a new direction soon, and I finally do get to live life as a woman. It will be awhile before I start transitioning because I need to save up a lot of money for HRT and gender surgery (I have no job at the moment). At this rate, it probably won't be at least a year.

As for pronouns, you can still use he/him or they/them for me. I will use she/her once I start HRT. I'm still new to all of this, sorry if it comes off as off-putting.

Congrats on this new phase of your life! Thanks for exhibiting so much grace and bravery in sharing this with us! Anything I can do for you as a stranger on the internet, please let me know.

Welcome to the club! Don't feel too bad, I started a year ago next month at 29! We all go at our own paces so don't feel down about it.

Forgive my ignorance but I was under the impression that transgender is the term used after transitioning? Or is that transsexual? I'm not too familiar with these terms so if someone could explain them to me I would be much grateful.

I think "transsexual" has generally fallen out of favor and "transgender" is the more widely used term, largely for being more universal.
