Sam(my)I am

Um, well hey everyone my name's Clare like the tittle suggests ^^ , I am currently a male but I am going to try and become Clare publicly or at least to close relations until I get comfortable with it...
I am 18 and in love with reading and writing and have always been a bit of a softie  :laugh: but I never thought of becoming an FtM until a few years ago, and it's slowly been something I have wanted. I was a bit of a "crosser" privately and just always kept it to myself figured that it was a simple thing up until I had a huge emotional breakdown(over family), and the idea of being Clare always made me feel bit better.

I have gotten better at handling things and dare I say stronger? and at this point I want to tell my mother at least that this is what I want.
Though I haven't started anything formerly I hope that it will all go smoothly, though I hardly even know what "all" is I actually need some direction but I now have a goal to strive for :)
I don't think the road will be easy or even fun but I want to be who I think I should be, and I figured this nice little community is what I need for support. And I think that though I can't offer much I will support others as well   :)

Oh! by the way please feel free to ask any questions, just expect some return ^.^

Hi Clare;
welcome to our home away from home. You'll find a lot of support here. Feel free to ask any questions. Basically, nothing is off limits. You're young. that's a good thing. You have time to decide what you really want. as for telling your mom, that's probably a great idea. Is she an understanding person? If she is, you probably have all the support you'll need. Like i said, welcome and feel free to PM me if you have any questions that i can help with.
Hugs

Hi Clare

Welcome to the forum dear, nice to meet you.
When you wrote that the way will not become easy, you're right but.....I was where you are now 30 years ago and when I look back to my times in transition I think it was a good time.
A time of hope because there was a way my dreams would come true.
Also, I did learn so much about myself and other people, priceless.
So, have a smooth transition, learn a lot and try to enjoy the journey too, not only the destination.

hugs
annette

Hey everyone, thanks for the warm greetings! ^^
also thank you on offering to let me PM you, I have a ton of questions and have been mulling this over in my head for some time....
I actually got a little misty eyes because it feels good to know I'm not the only person to want this sort of thing.

And yes Beth she is an outstandingly open minded person and raised all of us (5) to try and be the same, but in this area I think she is the only one who would understand. I just feel a tad guilty because this will add a lot to her mind when there is already so much there.
I think I have decided to tell her in 1week 3 days when school starts and gets settled so she can have some reprieve before I drop this on her.

*sigh* this is gonna be bumpy school year >_<;
