Hi guys my name is Kelsey, I'm keeping my name throughout my transition, I am 22 years old and I'm from Arizona. I just recently came out as FTM to everyone close to me that I've been living my whole life and a constant dysphoric state regarding my gender. A lot of people shocked, some not surprised at all. I've gone my whole life being a people pleaser and molding accordingly to my surroundings. I joined a sorority, dated boys in college did all the things a normal girl would do this age but always felt off and anxious. I knew something was definitely up regarding my gender but I wasn't ready to address it, not until earlier this year. I thought I could drink my way through constantly settling and being a "party girl." I'm ready to be a little selfish now. I woke up one morning in January with a lot of anxiety and I truly felt like I was overflowing with this secret and it was about to pour out of me at any second. I did some heavy research and pretty much came to the realization that now is the time that this feeling is going to be taken care of. I got myself into therapy two weeks later and now I am just impatiently waiting for my letter pretty much lol there aren't words strong enough to even begin to explain how scared yet excited I am to begin this new chapter of my life. I look forward to using this website as a great resource to seek guidance and even someday help people going through the same thing.
