Where it all Started

[Donnie]

I was about 10 years old and my mother caught me in my older sisters bedroom. I was checking out her panties. From that point on, I was forbidden to go into her bedroom. It wasn't until I was about 13 years old that I understood that there was something different about me. I was called a sissy in school, and would get beat up by bullies who didn't like the way I acted. I was sent away to a bording school in the sixth grade and I had to conform. This was a very difficult time for me. I began to hide who I was from everyone, and started to act like others wanted me to be. It wasn't unitl very reciently that I go help from a psycologist, and realized that there was nothing wrong with me, and that expressing my fem side was who I am. Since then I have been a much happier person, expressing who I am. I know that I will not be accepted in the general public, so I am very careful as to my apperance when I go out in the public and at work. At home, I can be the person I truly am, and join groups who are like me. Coming out and understanding that I am OK, has helped me a great deal. I know that there are others like me out there, and we all need to support one another.

Good to hear, and I'm glad you found a good psychologist.

Hi Donnie--
I'm glad you managed to come through all that, and find your way here. Welcome to the forum.

Being found by you mother and told you are wrong is hard. I've been there. So glad you are strong enough to keep learning and growing.
