Hi all. My name is James and I'm an 18 year old residing in Chicago. I'd rather not elaborate on my life, aside the fact that I'm beginning college Monday and am still going by my birthname. I'm a little too nervous to ask to be called by James since many people from my high school are attending this college. Nonetheless, I feel I am transgender. I've struggled with my gender identity since I was 8 and over the last 10 years, it's not gotten better. My dysphoria isn't nearly as bad as it once was, but I'm still very uncomfortable with who I am gender-wise.

Feel free to message or email me. I need all the help I can get in terms of therapy, testosterone and coming out. Thank you.

Hi James,

Well college is often a good place to transition and experiment as people are more tolerant.

I'm in Australia and so I cannot help with local therapy but the GLBTQI group at the college can probably help!

Welcome and join in

Aloha e James,

Welcome to Susan's Place.  I am new too.  This IS a place we can just be!

Hey, you take all the time and space you need.  No one needs to push you or hurry you, James.

My new motto: For just now, "Let it be. Let it be. Let it be."

Welcome,
Rickya

Hi James, :icon_wave:

Welcome to our little family. Over 7241. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another member.
