I don't recall those details, it's been too long since I began.

The only reason I can provide this kind of detail is that I've been keeping a log of what's happening on my NBE journey. It's just the way I am. I used to keep a diary in high school, too; a rather feminine thing to do wouldn't you say?

I wish I had kept a diary since this started.... at age 7.... would have made a great book....

Karren, were you aware of cross gender leanings at such a young age?

My earliest memories of my own transgender warning signs go back to age 11. I had no idea of their significance at the time; only much later, in retrospect. I've recently read parts of my high school diaries and found other signs of ongoing gender conflicts along with my subconscious attempts to deal with them. I sometimes wonder how differently things would have turned out if I was growing up today with the greater awareness of transgender phenomena and all the information about it that's available on the web. Societal influences are so powerful though, I'm not convinced things would be much different.

Oops! I'm getting off the subject of this thread.

I do think it's helpful to keep a log of one's NBE journey, though. A record of one's rationale, attitudes, emotions, as well as a timeline of events could be very helpful down the road leading to who knows where??
