Hi everybody, I am Svea (a derivation of my birth name). This is the second trans-related site that I have joined, (the first being LP), but I have always been aware of other communities. My first attempt to sign up didn't work. Anyway, I am currently "out" though my progress toward transitioning is a steady crawl. I am married to a wonderful person, twenty, and in college. We are not as financially secure as I would like to be, but we are alive and happy
I grew up in a poor, rural family and so my upbringing was rather strict. I've never been comfortably "male" and in fact it caused quite a bit of distress. However, I am happy for how I was raised because I feel that it gives me the skills and outlook on life that I am going to need as I grow and transition-- not just from male to female, but as I transition to adulthood, to parenthood, and beyond. I tend to be rather reserved and cautious (or paranoid, rather), but some would attribute that to my passion of mathematics and programming. I am by no means an overly intelligent person, especially in these fields, and often I cannot grasp simple concepts, let alone those that are complicated. However, my illogical passion drives me to continue my pursuits.
Also, it is midnight, so my speech is rather impaired. This is how I think late at night ^
So random facts:
-I am taller than 99.9999 percent of human females.
-I am MtF, if that matters.
-I have been out since National Coming Out Day to my family and friends. I was not seeking support or acceptance from them, I only wished to inform them. However, I have lost no friends
-My activity level will vary drastically
-When I say "passion" I mean obsession. I am known to work 16 to 18 hours a day non-stop, rest for several hours and continue my work for weeks. It borders on being unhealthy.
-My gender fluctuates on an eleven to twelve week cycle from what I have been able to track (it fluctuates from feminine to a neutral gender)
-I want to learn as much as I possibly can across many subjects. I don't believe that I will have an afterlife, so I want to do as much as I can while I am alive.
