Hello everyone! I am very new into forums, and relatively new into the trans community (I've studied from afar lol).
My name that I'd like to one day be legal is Konnor, I'm 21 FTM and I'm from California. I currently live in North Carolina though.
Anyways, as a child I remember being in tears whenever mother put me in girls clothes or begging her to cut my hair shorter, hell, even have a memory of stealing a pair of my older brother's boxers in kindergarten, wearing them by using a hair clip to keep them up, and proudly telling the other children i was a boy now because of my underwear. (lol if only it was that easy).
In recent years though, I've really doubted myself as being trans because I haven't felt crippling dysphoria like i used to, how i used to cry every time i looked in the mirror. I think because, without being in the least bit conceited, i'm a decently attractive person, my self esteem camouflaged everything. But I think I've comes to terms with the fact that I detached myself from my body, and due in part to having lucky genes I have a very androgynous body and features. I get called sir or young man without trying. Its actually quite commonplace, and has happened for years. I've reached a point in my life that I've decided that I'm willing to take the risks of being unaccepted, even by my family. If they can't love me through a transition, I suppose that's not a true love anyways.
Well, this has been my small introduction, thank you to anyone who read it. Reading posts by everyone in these forums has been part of my motivation to be who I want to be
