New to the forum, but not to this TS/TG thing

[YoungSoulRebel]

I'm Ruadhan (pronounced "ROO'ahn", to those who don't speak Irish Gaelic).  I'm a FTM TS man, on HRT for over a year and post chest surgery by a nearly eighteen months.

Yo and Welcome.

[YoungSoulRebel]

By the way, about how long does it take for people to be able to alter their profile information?

[Janet_Girl]

Hi Ruadhan,

Welcome to our little family. Over 3400 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another brother.

And be sure to check out for answers to all questions

Then please take into account that I'm FTM TS and so prefer to be referred to in the masculine -- I even stated this above.

No hard feelings, but I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry, hon.  Thought I fixed that.  That is what I get for watching tv at the same time.

Shouldn't do that.  They say television can rot your brain.   

[Janet_Girl]

Already has.  And my GF is always telling me that.

Dia duit, Ruadhan

Welcome to Susan's. I'm sure you will find many here who have walked a similar path as you have/are/will (though I'm walking the opposite way myself - MtF).

While I am Irish (decent), I unfortunately do not know a word of Gaelic. I had to look up the greeting. I do love the language and love to hear it, though my linguistic skills leave a great deal to be desired and I can't hold on to a new word, phrase, number, etc in any language for more than a few seconds. 

Well, I hope you enjoy your stay here.

I had to look it up, too (though I'm technically "learning" the language).

My mother's side is English and my father's side is from Belfast, so technically Ultach, not Irish.  ;-)

[Deanna_Renee]

I'm not familiar with the term Ultach, what is it? I am all Irish on my mom's side and my father was (I think) a 'mutt', Irish, English, Scottish, maybe French and whatever (but not certain, it's only what I've been told). I seem to remember reading in my family tree that some of my mom's family was from Belfast as well. So, I guess that makes us some kind of distant cousins or some kind of something or other.

"One from Ulster" (Northern Ireland).

[Deanna_Renee]

Ahh

Thanks - still not too old to learn new stuff.
