Hi This is Liz1965. I had dealt with being attractive to females all my life, but through high school it came so rough for me, that I pushed my feelings away. I am 54 years old and the feelings are still there, cause no matter how hard I tried they will not go away. I had relationships with both gender. There Is no place in my area to meet people, so it's hard for me. Looking for friends here and support. Thanks.

Hi... thanks for posting in the LGBTQ+ forum! I'm not the member you're looking for here on PC. But I can relate to what you wrote. You mentioned you're 54. I'm 70! And I've had a life-long struggle with gender dysphoria. (It's a long story.) And that has never gone way either. (As I have heard it said... if you're trans... you're trans for life. It never goes away.)
I've lived an outwardly more-or-less normal male life. (For most of my life I didn't know I had any choice.) And I guess I thought that, at some point, my gender identity struggle would fade away. But, to a large extent, it never has. And in fact there was a period of time, not all that many years ago, when it actually got worse... which led to 2 suicide attempts. I've tried seeing a few therapists. But there's so much I simply could never talk about that it was like the proverbial tip of the iceberg. I was active on YouTube a few years ago when there was sort-of a small community of trans YouTubers who were uploading videos documenting their transitions. But, otherwise, I've never had anyone I could talk to about any of this. And I still don't. So I know something of what it's like to be stuck with feelings you can't do anything with. And at this point I'm too old, & it's too late, to do anything about it anyway. It all just is what it is... or was what it was perhaps. Anyway... that's my struggle. And I thought I would share it with you since it sounds to me as though it was similar. I hope you find the friends & support you're looking for here on PC. __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go."

Hi Liz. I am a lesbian, I am 34. I grew up in an Afrikaner community that made it very difficult for me, but I found my person and we are married now. I am here if you want support and someone to talk to.
