Formal Introduction

[Mark]

I've been creeping the forums for a while now, and since the all the cool kids are doing it, i figured its time to formally introduce myself.

Hi guys. My names Mark. I'm 20 years old, 21 in about 7 weeks. I only recently found out about GID and the transgender community. I'm two months into realizing i don't have a "problem" but a mental disorder (if you want to call it that). So far, I have already learned a lot from you guys and from your post; so thanks. Hopefully as i go through my experiences and transition ill be able to help some of you guys also. Looking forward to giving and receiving advice here as I start this new chapter.

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

Welcome from another newbie.

This is true. It's believed we're exposed to a cocktail of too much of a certain hormone (T for FTMs, E for MTFs) in the womb while our brains are developing. So, the body may say female (or male) but the brain developed to be a male's (female's).

Even though the reasons aren't completely solved the medical community has proved that it's not a form of mental illness. So Mark, don't let people think you're mentally ill. And welcome.
