Hello, I am a 19 year old FTM attending university on the east coast of the US. Being young, there isn't too much for me to say here!
I have had a very easy time with transitioning (which I did prior to coming to university at the beginning of the year) since I have always been very masculine in appearance, due to having excess testosterone because of a disorder. I got pretty lucky with that, and have been basically living as male in demeanor and appearance for several years, so I'm a bit of an old pro at this.
Unfortunately, though, this also means I miss out on the fun of all those first experiences--the first time I got mistaken for a boy was in preschool! However, I hope that I can provide advice and support in terms of passing, and receive advice myself when I eventually start testosterone (in about two months) and get surgery (who knows when?).
I have the utmost respect for the transgender community, and the LGBT community as a whole, and would like to make every effort to be a supportive and contributing member. I'm looking forward to posting with everyone!
