I am also new, just discovered this place today actually. I am a female to male transsexual, not able to have the REAL BIG operation, so am still a man trapped in a woman's body. I have come to terms with this, do not need a penis to assure myself or anybody else of my manhood.
Still, it gets lonely out there because I am always worried I will trip up and be caught out, especially by the guys with whom I share a house and who all think I am a (REAL) man.
So thank you for giving me this opportunity to join a community which understands.
