Hey. I am new to the forum. Let me just tell you a bit about myself.
I am a FTM transgender from Brooklyn, but I will be attending school in Rochester this fall.
I haven't started any hormones yet but I really hope to do this soon. Right now I plan on meeting with
a counselor in college and hopefully getting a T letter there so I can be on my way.

Anyways... I really look forward to meeting new people and learning new things here.   8)

Hey Pinhead, haha cool name.  Reminds me of that episode of Spongebob when Spongebob calls Patrick "Pinhead Larry," in which Patrick responds "Who you callin' a pinhead?!" and his head is all skinny lol.

Sorry, that's my favorite Spongebob moment EVER, anyone else seen it? Welcome to Susan's :) I'm Brady.  From Brooklyn eh?  I go to NY all the time, headin' up next on Sept. 5th.  I'm planning to go to graduate school there to get my MBA.  I have a friend who goes to school in Rochester, she's pretty cool.  Have you transitioned yet or are you holding back until college? I always said I would wait until college but I didn't.  However, I am doing the same thing you are.  Going to my school counselor to see if I can get a T letter (esp. because it's free!) Does anyone know if that's a possibility?

Anyway, tell us about yourself dude! Great to have you here, you'll make a lot of great friends, I promise.

I haven't transitioned just yet. But I did come out to everyone (my mother, my grandparents, brothers and sisters, mentor, etc.) I really need to start hormones though and I'm hoping that things go smoothly with the college counselor. I leave to school this Saturday, will be attending RIT in Rochester, majoring in Information Technology. I like web development and all that stuff. What about you, did you start T yet? O yeah and what are you majoring in?

And also...  ;D my real name is Shane

Nice to meet you, Shane. 

No, I'm not on T.  Although I'd love to be, it's not my main priority right now.  I tend to pass pretty well.  I have to spend money on other things first :( I'm majoring in Finance.  After I get my B.B.A in Finance, I'm going to get an MBA with Finance specialization.  Then, maybe I can afford T, chest surgery, and a really good prosthetic  :laugh:

Where are you at in Brooklyn?  I have friends in Park Slope

Pinhead

I stay in Bedford Stuyvesant. Not too far from park slope if you got a car.  I don't travel much though. The finance thing sounds cool... Sounds like you'll be working on wall street or something lol. Something important like that.  :)

Are you comfortable with just wearing mens clothes and passing without being on T. I wear mens clothing and pass sometimes but I still get really depressed with my body. I mean I'm still in a females body. How do you manage that?

ConfusedMichelle

Yeah, I would love to be a Financial Analyst on Wall Street, that's my dream.

As for T, I used to get REALLY really depressed about my body, almost to the point of self mutilation.  My main goal was that I HAD to pass 100% and it killed me because there was no way I could start T.  I had/have binders, but even though I'm a 32AA (I could wear a sports bra if I wanted) it still didn't seem like enough. 

Then, I started hanging out in more GLBT places, which gave me some confidence because people treated me how I wanted to be treated.  I think it really helps to be in accepting places.  But, as you will hear MUCH about, I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world and I think he is the reason I'm comfortable with myself.He's a gay, bio-male and sees me as a gay bio-male, not an FTM.  He completely accepts every thing about me, which gives me SO much confidence. When people stare in public, I don't think it's because they think I'm FTM like I used to.  Now, I think it's because they can't believe two guys would hold hands in public in Texas.  So, long story short, I discovered that as long as the people I care about treat me as who I truly am, I don't care NEAR as much about what the public thinks.  Sure I want to pass, and I think I pass well enough to be thought of as a young man, but when I'm out with my boyfriend, he makes me confident, which is what I think makes a guy pass. Plus, the fact that the public sees us as two men gives me even more of a confidence boost. 

Sorry that was so long lol

Shane, it's unusual (but not impossible) for a transguy not to want at least T. So most of us know exactly how you feel.
