Hello everyone! I am glad to have hit on this site where there isn't any negative bullying type comments!

To introduce myself, I go by the name Lori. I want to change my name legally but it's too expensive for me right now and so overwhelming. I need to hire a lawyer but can't afford one right now. Hopefully in the near future.

I was raised in the 60's and 70's. My mother had me when she was 34. My mother at first didn't mind me playing with girl's toys but that all stopped when I reached school age and then she kept reminding me I was a "boy." She wouldn't even allow me to play with GI Joe dolls because she said they were dolls and dolls are for girls. I felt so self conscious that when commercials came on TV that advertised girls things I hid my head in the couch pillow until it was over. I was raised by my mother, 10 year older sister and my grandmother. There was no father because they were separated before I was born and later divorced. My mother passed away when I was 10. After that my father wanted me and there was a court battle and then he won full custody of me. Then I learned he was an alcoholic and took drugs and became extremely violent especially when he drank. Later on I learned he wasn't my biological father. Anyway, I married a woman when I was 24 and remained married for 26 years until she passed away in 2012. We have a set of twins together. A boy and a girl and they are 27 years old now. My son does not accept me being transsexual and told me he never will. I'm not sure how my daughter feels anymore but that's another long story. I have been living as a female since around 1994. I used to be on hormones but quit for a couple of reasons but one of them was that after being on them and the t-blockers for 4 years I didn't get the changes I was supposed to get. The only thing I got was small breasts. I love being a female but live in an area where people are very judgmental. They don't bother me anymore but I know they talk in my neighborhood about me. See, I lived here before I transitioned so they knew me before but when I drive out of this town, people always treat me as a female. They always use the correct pronouns and I have no problem trying on clothing in the ladies try-on rooms. I also have no problem using the ladies rest rooms. I enjoy everything there is about living as a woman. My only regret is I didn't start earlier. I was reading the post about being more normal seeing boys in girls clothing but there is so much negativity online about it. People refusing to use the correct pronouns, saying transsexuals will never be a woman because they can't get pregnant no matter how much surgery, etc. I am sick of it. People putting down Jaden Smith for his choice of fashion. Why do people have to be so concerned with other peoples' lives? If you allow me to post here I thank-you. I could use some support. I am open to any questions you have and am open to giving any advice I may have to give.
