Hi all, the names' Tristan. I'm a 23 y/o Pre-Op, pre-T FtM.
I'm not going to say this process isn't brand new and totally scary because it is but also liberating.
i grew up in a super conservative huge catholic family on long island, having recently moved out to chicago by myself for school i have finally had the option to express something that i feel i have always known. when i was about 4 or 5 yrs old i insisted on a boys name which my parents would have none of, i was always had more in common with my guy friends and i never fit in with or understood girls, including my sister. i hated being limited by a body i didn't connect with and couldn't understand why i had to accept these things. unfortunately i believe permanent transition in far off for me because of financial reasons associated with my education but at least i can take mental steps showing the world the person i have always known i am.
