A complete answer to my prayers.

As you all know, I'm having a rough time making the college transition.

I was on my school's website today and ran across a program called "Roadrunner Days." It's basically about 4 days of fun-filled campus activity just before classes start.  I began looking at the "Schedule of Events."  I wasn't very interested, but then something caught my eye.  On August 26th, at 1:00 PM, there will be a gathering for the GLBT student community!  It said "Click here to register." So, I'm all registered.  I just hope many people attend.

Also, there is a group called the "Lambda Alliance" that exists on campus.  I e-mailed them telling them my story and asking how to join. Hopefully, they write back soon. They host a gay pride week in October

This is just what I needed.  Not only an event that would allow me to meet people, but one with people who will automatically accept me. I feel like my prayers have been answered.  I'm a bit nervous though.  Do ya'll think going to this meeting will help?  What can I expect?  Am I supposed to introduce myself as a gay FTM or a gay male? I think I would feel comfortable as "gay FTM" because I'm sure many FTMs will be there.

Let's hope this is as wonderful as I think it will be

Cool.

I'd say the question of how to introduce yourself rides on whether you want to be stealth or not.
Glad to hear you're feeling better about all this.

I'm starting my second semester of college tomorrow. I came out to my English instructor and I requested that she refer to me as "Dan." I haven't gotten a reply yet (I emailed her) but my dad is fairly certain that the instructors at this school will respect my gender identity. A recent statistic I've heard (given by the medical professionals in my area) estimate that there is around 1,000 transgendered people in Sonoma County.

There is a LGBT group on my campus. I am not sure if I will come out or go stealth. I will probably come out... then I can freely attend this group. As for a lot of FtMs being there, don't depend on that. I live in a highly populated trans area and our trans meeting had under a dozen people. Mostly FtM, but I think all of them were straight (except me). They had girlfriends.

When I introduced myself to Positive Images, I was completely honest. An FtM who's questioning his sexuality.
