Hi, I'm Kelly. I put my introduction in the new peoples forum first but thought I would put it here too.

I figured I'd go right to the place that seems to continually surface in my research and join in. Maybe help someone if I can too. I've read some posts here pertaining to my situation.

Although it seems a bit weird to me to describe my problem here in an introduction, I will say a few words.

I am a sucessful person. I'm happily married with a daughter. All is really well in my family life mainly. I'm not depressed in any way.

At the age of 11 (possibly earlier) something happened to me. My older brother is responsible for it. Although a confrontation will never occur, it's aided in the development of my life.

I'm not an unhappy person. If I was diagnosed with something it would be simply called Transvestic Fetishism. (crossdresser basically) I'm outgoing, insanely creative, sexual, caring, a good father & husband. As most with this particular condition will attest, I'm not gay and have no intention of being so. I do not wish to be with a man, nothing of the sort. It's just not there.

My wife will probably chime in here too as she's aware that I'm here as of today... and just 2 days ago, I wrote her the letter. The letter told her of the abuse that happened to me, lead through the teenage years and ended with what I am today. The same guy she married 10 years ago. In short, I told her.

So, there it is. I'm here to talk a bit and learn if I can. I'm not looking for some cure as I'm very comfortable with myself. Maybe she'll chime in too and we, together, can move forward in this. She's accepted me.

Forward.
Kelly
