Why?

I initially participated in this website as a male. I was focusing my time in the<b> transsexual </font></b>areas. Further I quickly realized I really wanted to engage people not as a male, but as a female. Something I have wished to do all my life. I had always thought my interest in female presentation was a fetish, but as I explore being Jane Shannon I realize it is something much deeper. I intend to use this blog as a vehicle to further explore in being what I now see as not a fetish, but a true part of me. My target audience is really other trans women; however, this blog is open for all to participate in.

 I went through that as well. It took time, but finally I broke down and started looking for a therapist to help me. Now I've been on HRT for over 2 years and living full time as my true self since December.

I was nervous about losing family and friends and backlash at work. The only fall out was with my then wife, but we worked it out and are still friends. I work for an employer with an anti-discrimination policy that includes gender identity. I was still nervous about that, living in Texas, but they were cool.

We were allowed to wear holiday shirts and blue jeans to work leading up to Christmas, and I took that as my opportunity to dress the way I wanted to. A little over a week into it, my manager and the HR manager called me into the office. They asked me if I intended to transition, and I told them I did. I was starting to break into a sweat, then they said they needed to go over the company policy to make sure they handled everything properly. This was a first for them and they didn't want to make any mistakes. I don't think anyone here had ever seen me smile like I did that day.

Good luck. It can be nerve racking, but it is possible to make it work.
