I've been reading other people's intros and realized mine is a bit weak, just don't expect me to bore you with my life story in just one thread.
I've always felt like I wanted to be a girl for as long as I can remember, pre-kindergarden. In elementary school I always liked to keep my hair long and was frequently mistaken as a girl. In high school I tried to be normal, I was asked often if I was gay. I dated several girls and hooked up with one guy, then I met a girl I liked that was into go to church so I tried that out for a year or two and gave up trying to be a Christian when I was a freshmen in college. I still new deep down I was a girl and had an affair with an older guy, I dropped hints about being trans but he was not into that at all. I also had my first affair with a transgirl and met another local transgirl my age. I wanted to come out and transition but I was too scared. I was involved in competitive surfing, wanted to go pro, even had a few photo endorsements incentives going for me through a few sponsors I picked up.
I eventually got an associates started dating and living with a girl and was not happy. I was working full time and going to school half-time and was burnt out on life, so when I was 23 I enlisted in the US Navy where I became an AT3,(aviation electronics technician Petty Officer Third Class). Broke up with my girlfriend(she never even knew I was bi) and left the Navy in 2009.
When I left the Navy I wanted to transition but couldn't do it because I found work as a lifeguard right after. I found another girlfriend and we started to live together and things were great until we got into an argument and I told her everything. She was shocked, we broke up and got back together several times but it was a mess and eventually broke it off for good.
Now I am dating a women who knows I am bi and likes my androgyny. She mentioned it one day and told me who I have a lot of feminine behaviors and before we started dating I was already considered one of the girls by the group we all hang with. I was amazed and it made me really think about what I want to do with myself so I joined this forum to check out my options.
