I've recently decided that I'm transsexual, and am comfortable enough with that idea to want to start transitioning my life between genders soon.

I've been dealing with complex feelings over my personal identity for several months now. Having these internal struggles has hurt me in a number of ways, such as making it harder for me to generate motivation to do things, making it harder for me to focus on things that I perceived as "unimportant" (regardless of their actual importance), and causing stress and anxiety through the disconnect between how people treat me (and assume i want to be treated) and how I actually want to be treated. These things have been negatively affecting my happiness for some time, especially since I decided I was transsexual. It's frustrating to want things to change but be too anxious to speak out loud enough to change them.

Since accepting myself as I am and beginning to come out to more and more people I've been getting progressively happier. I hope by coming out to you that I can continue to reduce my problems and become happier with myself. I hope you can accept me as I do. However, if you don't because of your personal beliefs related to me or gender then I'll respect your beliefs and won't try to change your mind.

If you're willing, I would appreciate it if you would begin to refer to me with feminine pronouns (she/her instead of he/his/him) from now on. If any of you want to talk to me personally or ask questions which are not very befitting of a forum setting you are free to contact me on skype (REMOVED). I would to like to believe that I'm fairly easy to talk to on skype, but maybe I'm wrong.
