wow...intros are awkward

[EvelynSTL]

I guess I'll start with the basics. Let's see, I'm 35 AMAB living outside of St. Louis for now.

Not to go too far back, but high school was a really confusing time for me, and hated most of it. I was and still am attracted to guys, but at that time and place, it didn't feel safe to pursue anything. Overcompensated by joining the the Marines for 8 years, getting tattooed, and a bunch of other stereotypically masculine stuff.

At 33-ish made peace with the fact I'm attracted to guys and came out as gay shortly after, but still didn't feel like that really fit. Around the same time, my gender issues were really starting to become more apparent to me after dealing with a lot of my baggage relating to my time in the service.

So, I'm 35, out to my family, seeing a therapist, and have been on hormones since Sept 2014...thing's are looking up (finally!)
