    I discovered my true self just after my 59th birthday last year. I’m MTF and tried to come out to my wife last year. It didn’t go well, so I got scared and dropped talking about it. I’ve thought I was a lesbian for the last year but now considering that I might be bi. I’m happy in my fantasy world and dream of being out someday.

    Hello Marci!! Welcome to EC

    Im glad that you have discovered who you really are but sorry that your wife couldn’t accept it. That must be tough.

    Nevertheless, over time you might get chance to talk with your wife (I hope) about ways you can express yourself more in order for you to be the person you are. Even if it’s just in your own home in private.

    In the meantime, It’s good that we can have imagination and fantasy world. Dreaming is free and I sincerely hope that your dream of being out one day does indeed come true.

    Good luck in your journey :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

    Just the feeling of being “seen” and accepted has been exciting.❤️

    You have permission to copy & use. I love rainbows and cats too. My cat isn’t that colorful though. Thanks for the info on the gender identity and expression forum.

    Hey Marci! I’m glad you had the courage to try to come out in a situation like that. I’m 30 and still trying to figure out how to come out, it’s mostly my dad who I’m afraid to tell. I’m sure We both will get the courage sometime soon hopefully.
