Hello everybody, my name is Paul, and I'm a trans-guy. I am pre T and out to few of my friends who are very supportive and love me for who I am :) I'm still not out to my parents and I'm very scared of their reaction because I know they mostly won't be accepting. I felt this way since I was little, when I was about 4-5 years old I was sure that I'm a boy and everyone else around me doesn't seem to get that. When I realized why it is like that I've got very frustrated and used to ask every night to make me a normal boy. I hate that nature messed up with me like that.

More about me: I love science especially math and physics and I hope to be an astrophysicist one day. I'm a complete nerd  :D. Also I live in Lithuania which is very trans-phobic and homophobic country and I'm not sure if hormone therapy for TS people is even legal here.

I'm looking forward to meeting other transgender people or new people in general :), because I only know another one trans-guy here in Lithuania and it feels like I'm completely left out with my case.
(Also pardon me for mistakes english is not my first language).

Hello Paul.  :icon_wave:

A warm and sunny welcome from South Africa.

I really hope that you can get a doctor to help you on your path to transition and that it is legal. I sure am glad that we who live in the western countries have it relatively easy to get onto HRT. I do wish you all the best on your journey.

Keep us updated with your progress.

...Welcome Paul, so glad you are here!  It sounds like a really tough situation there in Lithuana...

Okay, I just googled..entering 'lithuania law for transgender rights' and an article came up...try to search for it, it was on webpage called 'gaystarnews.com' and the date was july 19, 2012. I read it, it does say that gender reassignment surgery is not recognized by law there , nor will you be new papers be given if you receive surgery in another country.  It does then go onto say that by the european human rights act that any unmarried person that gender reassignment is medically feasible should receive it.  It said lithuania has not passed a new law on this yet though.
To me this says hopefully that maybe lithuania WILL be passing a law to allow for your surgery since it is needed....hopefully sooner than later. I really encourage you to try to find this article as well as other legislations that may have been passed since then. Maybe something has already gone into place?......if not, I would highly consider relocation...maybe on a student visa or something?  I'm glad you're here, and hopefully someone will be able to offer up suggestions for you to proceed forward. Good luck, paul!
People are people, treat everyone with the same respect and courtesy that you want to receive.

Hi Paul,

A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.

There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in start talking and ask any question you like. You're quite safe here and we are very accepting.

Beautiful name you have. I used exactly the same one in my more than 50 year acting career. I hope your local situation improves dramatically for you.

Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.

Lotsa huggs
Catherine
