Hello from Rachael

[Rachael]

Hi everyone.

I joined this forum the other day but I didn't get a chance to introduce myself.
I am 46 years old going on 18 and have been struggling with my gender identity for the past two and a half years after it all came rushing back to the surface. I had successfully suppressed my gender issues since my teen years but I guess Rachael finally decided she wanted her time in the sun.

I have gone through some ups and down but have finally come to love the new me and hope to grow and become the woman I should have been many years ago.
I plan on joining up as a chams club member and hopefully meet some of you girls at future meetings and outings. I am still deep stealth and the only person I have come out to is my wife who is struggling to cope with all this but is doing her best to understand and support me.

Hi, Rachael,
Well, it seems as though you have been having the same ups and downs that we have all been plagued with.
You are not alone, girl. All of us have been there. Some still are.
On behalf of the Commitee, I would like to extend to you a warm welcome to our group. We are here to try to help each other.
We meet on the second and fourth Wednesday in the month, at a discreet location in East Perth. We therefore shall be meeting this Wednesday
10th March. This meeting includes a Trash and Treasure segment, where Kate has some lovely things on display. So if you need a new wig, or a nice pair of shoes, please feel free to join us. We are all looking forward to meeting you.
If you need any further assistance, please call me on 0414-715-720, and I will be more than happy to help in any way I can.
Here's to seeing you on Wednesday.

Hi Rachael, welcome to Chams, I'm Stef and currently living in the small lovely hamlet of Hopetoun just awaiting my sentence to be reprieved so I can move back to perth to commence my transition. I am also Chams HRO Human Resource Officer, I prefered Welfare officer lol gotta change with the times.

Your wife is going to go thru a big rollercoaster ride not to disimilar to your own, but it take a lot of communication, strenght and determination to make the marriage survive, unfortunately mine did not. At some time in your life you have to be selfish and be happy for who you are.

You may speak to a number of girls here who are Trans and all mean well, but please we are all at differi ng stages and your path needs all the information not just pieces, please take everything at your own pace nice and slow because you do have a wife to take into consideration and whilst you may know exactly where you need to be she will be so scared and insecure so take the time to be true to yourself and your wife.

My number is in our members section so feel free to use it anytime.

Stay safe

Kind regards

Stef

Hi Connie and Steph, nice to meet you both.

Thank you for the warm welcome.
I am away overseas at the moment but return in two weeks and will give Conne a call when I return.

I am looking forward to meeting all the girls and to taste the cake.
