Hello! I'm new :)

[soaringPhoenix]

Hi! This is my first post, so please bear with me.
I've been feeling kinda alone in this whole thing due to some pretty transphobic family issues and the trans community in my area being pretty much zero.
Anyway, I'm Phoenix. I'm 15. FTM, from Scotland. I like reading and drawing. I have autism.
I've heard about this forum through a few internet searches.
The deal is, I'm sort of shy. But I'd love to make friends in the trans community. Please give me a pm or reply to this thread :3

Welcome to Susan's Place. You have friends here who will help you and answer some of the many questions you might have. There are others near your age in the youth section if you feel more comfortable posting with others your own age.  PMs will not work until you reach 15 post so start the conversation with others and explore the web site. If there is anything I can do to help you, let me know.

Welcome Phoenix~

My family is super transphobic too. They do anything in their might to make me feel bad for being trans x.x

Anyway, if you need a friend around your age to talk to, I am here o3o
I even know another 15 years old FtM, I bet you would be great friends -w-

Big warm welcome to Susan's Phoenix

Sorry that you are getting a bit of a hard time from your folks, as far as shyness goes it seems to be a trait with us... certainly I was a wilting wallflower for most of my life, but suddenly you realise you are unique but you have a wonderful story to tell or you can make a change to those around you.

Best wishes fro your future moving forwards, don't be shy here  we are all the same here, we all started off at sometime, and I look forward to seeing you around the forum's
