hello all

i am as you can tell by my user name a trans-man. so I've been meeting other trans-guy buddies through websites most through a couple social websites. - that's where i checked this site out from a list of trans themed support groups/social websites. so far this is pretty good except how i can't see anyone's profile. i guess ya have to post something like this first? it's not real important and i don't want to be a creepy stalker anyway.
so something about me, I'm an artist, i paint. i like the outdoors as long as it's anywhere from 60 to low 80's degrees out and not raining. i live off pepperoni pizza and diet coke...that's sort of a joke. i try to be funny, usually it's just me that gets my humor. blah this is starting to sound like a date ad:embarrassed: - it's not, for sure, I'm looking for friends and that is all i don't think it would be smart to try dating let alone a relationship when i haven't even started transitioning. too much emotionally to handle during an already emotional rough time in my life.
i guess i could say I've finally woke up after being oppressed for about 15 years about me always being a boy. the clothes, the short hair, the toy cars, the sand box i did it all man, just in the wrong body and it wasn't accepted, no matter how hard i tried, i didn't know what transgendered was, or that i was literally supposed to be a boy i just knew there was something very wrong with what i saw on my body, in the mirror. from middle school on is when i lied to myself, blah puberty, that's when i shut out and was in denial until early may 2010 and now I'm making sure i do whatever i can to become the real me. a man (i know i aready am on the inside but you know what i mean, be able to transition) get the car, college, career, hopefully someday a wife and family.
I'm gradually coming out to more and more people, co-workers and a few friends from high school are cool with it

I do believe I'm finally ready to come out to my mom, soon.
whatever you want to know or if you just want to say hi and talk to me message me i guess?
