Hi Kristi
Even better personality then me? Well for one thing I get out of bed one leg at a time and I put my pants on the same way and I am just me, and I do my best all day to make everyone else feel good, I love to chatter. I am me, I am woman, I was more androgynous then anything else in my younger years especially after getting out of an abusive relationship for some years.

IME transmen can also be incredible jerks, people are people.

I can't wait to get to a place that has a group I can meet.  Just hope I fit in since I can be very charming, but thats normally the front I put on.  Would just be cool to have some friends near me I can talk to or relate to in a true way since 99.9% of the people I know and/or talk to have no clue who I am on level outside of aquainteance (sorry, I know I butchered that word).  Been a loner so long though, I really wonder how easily I would make friends.

I am not offended by the original posts and the intent.  I think it's great that there is some support.  The way I look at it, this is the only forum I pretty much drop in every few days.  If this forum was not here I would not have any communication with the trans community for another year because of where I am currently living.  I don't post much, but knowing there is an appreciation and support for FtMs makes me more willing to share or ask questions.

Not only do I support the men, I have to admit I copped a lot of my courage from them.

Trans men do rock!! I know quite a few, actually. In fact, my new roommate (we move in together on the 1st) is a trans guy. He's awesome. He's just starting out, but he's pretty cool.

Welcome to Susan's Devlin,

There are a few really wonderful Trans men in this group. I do pray that you will find what you need here.

I transitioned in a small town where I am not certain if they even knew how to spell the word transsexual let alone what it meant. I lived the last seven years there as Cindy and never had anyone give me a rash about anything. I have worked as a Social-worker for the past twenty years then I was retired.

I only had two good female friends, the rest were all acquaintances, the whole town treated me well though I also enjoyed good humor, still do. But as you say I was also rather lonely with no one else like myself to share with. I met Wing Walker in DC another trans woman, she comes here occasionally. We became good friends and then decided to move in together and we lived in the small town I had been living in for the past ten years in Ontario. In August we decided to move here in Vancouver BC where I have found a group of Trans folks who meet once a week.

Well you have a wonderful day

Cindy

Re: Trans Men Rock ?

I don't like the terminology of calling someone a 'transman' or 'Transwomen', it sounds like an alien, a comic super hero or someone who is neither one gender or another. If someone has transitioned successfully they are either a man or a woman, not a freak and certainly not a transman or transwoman.

we understand.

How would you prefer we differentiate T people from non T people for the purpose of referring to us specifically in a topic?

Hi Rebis  hon as I have said before I love all of you on the Androgyne group, you all were there when I need someones shoulder to cry on and I don't forget stuff like that.

I like the idea of being a super hero -- hummm, I wonder what powers I have?

Wonder Granny flies again!

"Hee, hee, hee."

Love you guys. 

I think we can safely use those labels to prevent confusion here on the boards, but from the time we leave the keyboard to go out there, yes there are only two distinctions man and woman, she, he, her,  him, miss, Mrs,  Mr, etc, etc. I have never had anyone in the past seven years I have been Cindy where someone has erred with my gender.
