An open, potentially awkward question

[Aiden]

I tend to read whatever catches my eye, which often ends up with me posting in wrong areas.  But I do like offering my own experience even if it's not much.

I tend to read everything, mainly because I like learning how different people think. And I don't have a problem going into the FtM board because a) the guys here are, quite frankly, awesome. I learn a lot from them, including b) how guys think about things and view the world... which also serves to c) remind me how much I'm not one, at least in terms of my mental, emotional and spiritual alignment.

I don't often post, because I don't usually have anything useful to add on a lot of subjects, but I do like reading through everything because then I get to know the people here as people, beyond being guys or girls. And I find that a really valuable insight.

Same here. While I may not be able to personally identify with someone's situation it doesn't hurt me to read about it and maybe learn something, or challenge my own thinking.

I am new to Susan's, however not new to transition.  I would have never considered to look at or contribute to the FtM board.  It wasn't my interest since I am a MtF. It didn't even occur to me that I might have something I could have added there considering I spent 30+ years pretending to be a male.

If I had the time, I don't think I would be bothered by reading/contributing to that board.  I hated my male body/gender, but I still acknowledge that I had it, lived the first 30+ years of my life in it, and now I'm just moving toward the life that is congruent with the person I always knew I was. Since I totally support helping people in anyway that I can, I would contribute if I thought I had something semi-useful to add.

I read anything and everything, here and elsewhere.  I reply as I feel moved to.
