My name's Gabriel, but you can call me Gabe.
I'm a 23-year-old graduate student doing a Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and I am just starting out on my transition.
I had always known that something was different about me, but I never had the words to describe it. When I realized that I was bisexual I thought that I had figured myself out, but something still never seemed right. It wasn't until a few years ago when I met my friend Anya (a MTF) that I began to think that perhaps I was transgender. For the next few years I struggled with my identity until December of 2009 when I finally admitted to myself that I wanted, no needed, to transition. I have never been happier in my life. My depression has all but disappeared and I'm excited to finally become who I am supposed to be.
I'm not really sure what else to say here so if anyone has questions for me, feel free to ask. I'm an open book.
