Hi everyone,
I first joined the forum about a year ago, but I kind of disappeared after a month or so. It seems a lot has changed both here and in my own life, so I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself anew. I hope you don't mind!
I'm (still) a college student living in Illinois and studying engineering... fun stuff ;p . I'm also an MtF transsexual living pretty androgynously and passing both ways while I gradually transition. It's been a long process, and I've only slowly come to understand the me that was hidden for all these years. I suppose that's one of the best things about a college campus... being a little deviant is not all that noteworthy!
I've been in counseling/therapy for nearly two years now, and I've been taking hormones for about a year. Most of that time it was "under the table", but I've seen a doctor in the meantime and my hormone therapy has continued under her supervision. By the end of this year, I will probably be going full-time also. I guess it probably seems like I've done a lot, but I actually was in a bit of a slump for a lot of the time between when I was last on the forum and now; one that I've only recently escaped from.
So that's basically the reason I've finally come back. Visiting this forum helped me a lot at the time, and I think it's a community I'd like to remain a part of~
