Please to make your acquaintance, call me Eli (like "Elijah" without "jah").
I'm a pre-everything FTM American on the eve of my eighteenth birthday (January 12th).
I've known the terms transsexual/transgender for over two years and been binding for over a year, but it's only been recently (the past two months) that I've actively pursued transitioning. My reason for joining (and pursuing transition) has a great amount to do with my upcoming career/schooling situations and my own personal health.
I hope to learn from other FTM guys' experience, seek guidance and all that good stuff.
