Hey all, I'm Jesse, 28 year old transguy. Hoping to start T within the next few months and top surgery hopefully by the end of next year. Always knew I was a boy as far back as I can remember, but didn't start passing as male until my early twenties; been basically living as male (not "out" to my family or at work, but pass well enough that few others know me as female) since getting out of the service almost three years ago. I served in the army as a PATRIOT missile launch station crew member, then trucked for a while, and now am gainfully and happily employed as a plant operator at an oil co. I live with my wonderful boyfriend of more than a decade in central NJ. We've been best friends since we were fourteen, and he was the first person I ever confessed my gender disphoric feelings to, back when we were still "just friends", and he was so completely cool and accepting of it he probably saved my life. My family, on the other hand, is so Christian conservative and anti-gay I can't face ever telling them anything.
