I'm new to this community, so I thought I'd post and introduce myself. You can call me Alison. I guess I've known that I'm transsexual for a long time, really I've wanted to be a woman as far back as I can remember. Now I'm 27 and I'm finding it more and more difficult to ignore the issue. Over the past few months, I've begun counseling with a therapist who specializes in this sort of thing. Frankly though, I find the entire concept of transitioning very daunting. Yet I find myself taking one step after another in that direction. Still, I have a lot of doubts about the whole thing.
Anyway, I'm writing here seeking some advice and fellowship. From what I've read, it looks like a very friendly community. Right now, I'm trying to develop some sort of coherent plan for transitioning so I'm not stumbling around blindly. I am a lawyer, so I'm worried about irrepairably damaging my career. I'd love to chat more if anyone is interested.
