Welcome Matt,
This is a great place to start. We all have had the same apprehensions as you. It takes time, but you may be surprised how fast you start feeling the connection to your inner being. Believe me I was there also but once connected, you'll feel like your whole person is coming together. What your particular gender path will be, is a personal journey. Nice to see you here..................Tammy

Everybody starts somewhere Matt, you might find it interesting to browse the 'coming out' and 'welcome new members' forums which give insights into how many of us first came to terms with it all.
Of course, you can also pop into the chatroom to talk directly with others as well.
Hope you have a great time here.
Nikki
