Hello

[JessieMH]

Well I guess I should start here eh?

I'm an 18 year old pre-everything MtF hoping to get some advice now and again from some people who have experienced or are currently experiencing what I am going through.  Hope to become good friends

Hi Jessie,

Well you have found the right place. Many of us are in the situation of finding our selves and finally being who we always were. Lots of stuff to read, so you'd better start off young lady.

Hugs and best wishes

Welcome aboard, this is a good group. You came looking for friends but guess what? You found a family.
The people on this board are a wonderful crosssection of every shade of genderqueer there is from MTF, to FTM, to transitioning androgynes and the nutrois.
We understand gender dysphoria and the resulting angst around here.
Like has been said already, start reading and read alot.

Something to consider...

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Well, welcome, Jesse. Thinking back (way back!) at 18 I was really pre-everything, too-- in more ways than I knew. You actually never stop changing, though and I've learned to look forward to the surprises around each corner.

This forum's a good place to start. There's a good bit of wisdom here (along with a plenty of "grains of salt"). 'Lookin' forward to seeing you around.

Thanks everyone   I've been "doing my homework" so to speak for the last two or so months so I think I know some of the basics.
