My name is Erin, 24 years old MAAB living between Philly and NYC. I figured after roughly a year and a half of lurking it was time I introduce myself and post something.
My story isn't too different from the countless others I have read on here. Since I was roughly 10 years old I can remember feelings of gender dysphoria; despite at the time being confused about what exactly what it was I was experiencing. It wasn't until my mid teen years that I learned to interpret those feelings into something outside of confusion and shame. Despite knowing who I was and what I had to do for close to a decade, I let perceived societal and scholastic pressures get in the way of the pursuit of my true self. Just short of two years ago I went to seek out a therapist to start the process of going on HRT, but let myself become discouraged for various reasons. So here I am a little less than two years later, back at the starting block of contacting therapists in pursuit of get onto HRT with a determination to finally get started down the path to expressing who I am openly to the world.
As for details about myself unrelated to gender identity; I have a huge passion for soccer, hockey, anything winter related, surfing, and music(whether it be listening or playing).
Well anyway that is a brief summary of me, so hello to everyone in the Susan's family and all the lurkers who have yet to join.
