I don't normally sign up and use forums much because I'm kind of a shy guy when talking to people over the internet (go figure the internet would be where I would have trouble communicating) and I'm not sure if an introduction is a legitimate topic to post, but I figured I would give it a try. I'm not far along at all in transitioning- I only recently started seeing a therapist, I came out to my friends, I still use ace bandage (I don't have a nice binder yet), I am not yet on any T, I work out, and I don't pass at all in my opinion.

I'm 19, I live in Indiana, and I'm bisexual. My name is Vincent, but you can call me Vinny or whatever. I like to write, draw, listen to music, read, play video games and all of the usual stuff. Haha I don't know what else to put so if you have any questions for me, feel free to shoot away! I don't mind answering basically anything. I look forward to hopefully being a useful member on here.

Hey Vincent!
I'm Spencer, and I'm new here too. Welcome! People here are lovely, and there's a plethora of information for you to digest.
And I think you pass rather well IMHO. 

[Shimei Valentine]

Well thank you! Yes from what I've seen so far there are many people at all different points in transition and passing, so there is a lot of experience to be shared. I'm glad I found this site. I was actually looking for awhile for a place to kind of settle into for advice so this place is awesome.

Hello Vincent.   
I'm also 19 and new to this site.  I'm not far along  in transitioning at all either.  I'm not even seeing a therapist. 

I think you pass pretty well too.     especially in the first pic.  Maybe you are more critical of yourself than need be?

Hey welcome to the site. I think you pass pretty well for being pre-everything. Although if you're curious and looking for multiple opinions and passing tips you can add your photos to the "FTM Do I Pass?" thread.

Hi Vincent.
It's nice to see someone else from the wonderful () state of Indiana.
I think you pass pretty well.

welcome, I think you pass better then me( i have long is hair). i understand the whole shy bit I joined only a few months back but i still sometimes feel like the new kid but its fine everyone is really cool round here.

Hi Vincent!  I'm relatively new here too but I find it a good place to read up on everything and have seen that a lot of people here share similar experiences and feelings as to what I'm going through, so I'm finding it a good place to be.

Welcome to the site Vincent 

You pass really well in that first pic man. We're all our own worst critics when it comes to looks. You sound like a pretty cool guy so again welcome and see ya around the forum

[Shimei Valentine]

Thank you everyone for the very warm welcome. I think I will post some of my pictures in the passing thread. I am glad that so many think that I pass well, though. Its very encouraging.

[Kohitsu]

Hey Vincent, welcome to the forum! I think you pass pretty well in the first picture. I'm from Indiana too, how cool.

[Jake P]

Hey, like everyone else said, welcome to the forum!  I think you pass very well in the first picture-all I see is a cute guy

[N.Chaos]

We're all our own worst critics when it comes to looks.

This x infinity! Seriously, at least with me, all I can do is pick out flaws and ->-bleeped-<-. I think you pass pretty well too, and you make a very cute boy.
What kind of stuff do you write? If you're even wanting a critique (provided it isn't too long, I get distracted way too easily) I'm more than happy to check your stuff out. Fellow writers unite, whooo.

And obviously, welcome aboard! I've been on a few different trans forums and this one's definitely become my favorite.
