Hi everyone. :) Sorry for being so rude as to not introduce myself. :(

[Keri Allison]

Damn it! I posted my intro in the wrong section lols

Hi guys, I'm Keri Allison and I'm 18 years old. Keri Allison is just a screen name. I have a boy's name that I'm very proud of, either that or it's sentimental; and I have yet to decide on a more feminine name. My friends and I might think of one together.

I'm a MtF transgendered person, born as a male, but never did HRT or SRS. I'm still trying to discover myself (more like trying to build up courage). I'm actually very insecure. When I'm outside, I act hyper-masculine, but among friends, I can act the way I truly am. So I'll consider you guys my friends kay? kay. 

And emm... I'm sorry for forgetting to introduce myself. How rude! I've made three posts already so this might be a bit late lols. I thought I could just do that because I didn't know this was such a tight knit community. That's me and my city logic there lol.

I was recommended this forum through a friend from Yahoo Answers. Her name is "Clones Don't Have 100k Pts".

Clones, I thank thee

P.S. I've read the guidelines... more like skimmed it lols I am guilty. I'll read it. I promise

I'm up late trolling, so I'll accept the first to reply privilege!

I've just recently started coming here (you can read my novel a few posts down, if you like), but I'm glad to see others like me joining up. It seems like a really great community and I've already gotten a lot of information and peace of mind the past few days reading posts. It's nice to meet you, Keri (that's what I will call you for now, until you figure it out ). I can relate, have never given much thought to a feminine name, so I chose my old high school handle which I know has a misspelling in it! I will say though that I very much like the name Keri Allison.

So, welcome! and I wish you luck in your self-discovery. I, too, am embarking on a similar journey into my feminine side and I'm having a good time mixing it up in public with my normal circle of friends. Sometimes it's fun to try and confuse people a little bit, and a bit at a time helps with the insecurity. Something shared from my past few days of "research" is that I used to be worried about coming off too feminine, now I am self-conscious of my more masculine tendencies I've picked up over the years. Go figure!

Hello and welcome aboard to both of you.  One of the mods will be along soon to give you the  drum on how the place functions.

As you are young, don't worry about rushing into any decisions, just suss out what works for you and check things out from all angles.  A good Gender Therapist can help you ask yourself the right questions and guide you along the way when things get a bit rough.   Main thing is take your time and chew slowly. 

Karen.

Hi everyone

Haha pigeontoed. It's nice to meet another newbie as well. I was up till 4 trolling since I couldn't sleep. Blame it on finals and a soy iced latte lols. I love to troll Omegle folks. Bloody Wankers!

Thanks guys for being so warm and welcoming.

I am kinda worried though. If I don't transition soon, I'll surely regret it... I know that I'll never be completely happy the way I am but I'm naturally a very optimistic person who doesn't get depressed easily. When I do get depressed however, my satirical tendencies kick in to make me happy again. Either that or I just play guitar lols. So, I think my optimism is keeping me from having to choose between suicide or transition.

Damn... i'm so self centered lol.

I'm the same way, but, like Karen said, don't go rushing into any decisions. I could only wish I had started thinking about this when I was 18, I'd have 5 years to decide before where I'm at now! From what I can tell from researching and reading this forum. You have plenty of time to think about transitioning. Every case is specific to the individual, but 18 is rather young still. I have a tendency to be long winded so I'll end it here -- Take it at your own pace and keep being happy!
