Hi everyone, my name is Sara.
I'm 25 years old, have had a pretty weird life history and transitioned to unambiguously female two years ago, at least in presentation.
I don't mind speaking of my past, but it's laden with uncertainties and suppositions. Suffice to say I learned of the existence of transsexuality at 22, and intersex at 23, went full-time slightly before starting HRT, obtained HRT from a generalist without obtaining a GID diagnosis (and am more or less roughly monitored by said doctor, awaiting an endocrinologist to take it up from there), and am looking to get surgery some time in the future, when it becomes a possibility.
I've been involved in both trans and intersex communities, but not extremely so in either. I've been trying to learn more about myself, body and mind wise, for years, and am still trying to find more about myself. The endeavor proves difficult with roadblocks consisting mainly of ignorance and dismissal, but I'll pull through and eventually garner a more extensive knowledge of the 'why' of being the way I am (especially physically).
I have no significant other, or children. I live with my mother and two youngest brothers, all of whom accept me for who I am. Feelings are more mitigated in my extended family, but more supportive than not, and none would outright decline to be present because I was.
I hope to finally find a niche where I can speak and learn of the many topics concerning or interesting me without feeling as an outsider (as I felt in both intersex and trans communities in the past, with regards to certain things). I think this might be the place.
