Hi all. Much love. My name is Autumn. I am a pre-op transsexual. I am set to begin HRT in less than 1 month. While this thought makes me happy beyond explanation, I find that as the day grows slowly closer, my gender dysphoria has grown exponentially. I can barely see to type through the tears that have become ever so present. I don't have a question, I just had to get this out somewhere. I have come out to my Mother, and the medical staff at the VA. It seems that the more I embrace the woman I have always been, the more I feel distant and cutoff from the body I am in. Alright, i feel the anxiety and panic beginning to subside once again. Now to meditate and slow my breathing.

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read this.

I love you all,
Autumn Luna

Hello Autumn,

I am very sorry for all you are going through.
Gender dysphoria is very painful.

It's very common for the dysphoria to intensify as one becomes more focused upon transitioning. I hope you have access to a therapist for support.

Welcome to PC.

There are several members here in different stages of transitioning, both m-t-f and f-t-m. I hope to see the Trans* community grow here.

I hope you find the information and the support you may be seeking.
Please make yourself at home. Jump in wherever you feel led to do so.

Your first 5 posts are approved by a moderator before they appear. After 5 approved posts, you will also have access to chatrooms and to the Private Messaging (PM) system.

I hope to see you around the forums.

WC
