Hello dear KittyG and WELCOME to the wonderful world of Psych Central!!
I'm 'assuming' you are new here KittyG, and though I'm an 'old' (lol) member of PC, I'm new to this forum/thread. Although I'm not anything but a 'straight' female (whatever that really means!!), I have a lot of personal experience with TG issues.
My late husband transgenderd F to M in the early 1960's and believe me, it was a very different world than it is today, 'tho I know it still remains a sensitive subject. Back then there was just ONE Dr in London who specialised in TG at Charing Cross Hospital, London. In fact he was renowned world wide, he became the Dr everyone aimed to be treated by. It was soooooooooo controversial that when Psych Dr John Randle began his clinics, the world press would be waiting at the front of the hospital, yes, disgusting and sad. Even more so when you think that the 'Gender recognition Act 2004' was only passed by the british government following the European Court (1990) appeal and that was down to an English transgender first person who was born Barry Kenneth Cossey. Later known as Caroline Cossey but famously know as the supa model 'TULA'.
Anyways, I just needed to say that to let you know that I understand the angst ridden world of transgender folk.
I only want to say listen to 'THE SKEEZYS' (lol 'is an older person now)  because the info Skeezys gave really is true, and the info from Pflaumenkeks. Go with your heart KittyG and don't a flying hoot to what anyone else around you thinks or says. It's never too late to be happy in your skin!!!! 
LOVE and HUGS, as ever. P.S. If anyone should have any, and I mean ANY questions, I will answer honestly and truly.  XXXX
