Hi everyone, I thought I'd introduce myself on these forums. I'm a twenty-one year old from Florida and identified as a T-Girl.
Hmm, I First identified as a girl since pretty early on. The thought of dressing as a girl wasn't really an issuse. Since I was about ten I always followed the trends set by my sister. Usually gothic hehe. Though my outlook on fashion has individualized I just like to wear plain black pants with the occasional dark toned T-Shirt or sweater.
Started on a basic hormone regime about five months ago. Precedently I took herbals since I was 17. Growing up I had many bronchial diseases. Mainly Asthma though the result in staying alive I was put on numerous steroids. Resulting I came into a late puberty at around 16.
It wasn't until this time I could start noticing the differences happening to my body.
I was always able to express myself sort of androgynously. The "male attention" was literally driving me insane. Almost being committed quite a few times for self mutilation and thoughts of suicide. My parents sent me to a therapist. The shrink I went to couldn't know anything if it hit her on the head. After attempts to explain things to her, she quickly labeled me "clinically depressed" hopped me up on a million anti-depressants. In my youth I tried to explain to her about my gender dysphoria. She quickly kept reassuring me its normal and wouldn't hear of it going any further as starting HRT or anything. I couldn't come to tell my family because my dad would most likely of kicked me out.
Now I'm just a fun loving person, who likes going to the movies and chatting online. Oh and playing a few mmorpgs hehe. Hope you enjoyed my rant! I hope to meet many fun individuals and friends here!
