Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello everyone! I am new here so let's get started :3

My name is Julia and I am 22 years old. I am transgender MTF and I am currently not on hormones.. I am a complete virgin genetically I suppose you could say. ^^

I've known about this since I was 8 years old and have not had an easy time in my life concerning family and the like. I've told my parents multiple times and each time I have been shunned or called names until I told them it was just a phase. I hardly have any support, just from a few friends that live a bit away from where I do.

As of 2013 I am starting to look for counseling, HRT, and everything in between! I'd love to do it this year, because I will turn 23 in June and it's something I want to start before it's too late. (It's a legitimate fear of mine, it depresses me every day of how held back I am) It shall be interesting considering I am jobless (can't get one, no matter where I go) and have no health insurance, but it will be an interesting ride nonetheless. I also have Aspergers, but in more of a minor way than a major way.. and I am socially awkward as well, so I don't make friends easy or anything like that.

My interests include learning languages, music production, japanese culture, europe, video games, and technology. :3 I am also starting cosmetology school this year!

As of 2013, albeit hiding it from my parents, I do go out of the house full time whenever possible and I am amazed of how much courage I've grown. Before I wouldn't even leave the house without a friend present. So it's getting better for me :)

If you're curious of how I am looking, then my Photobucket album is in my signature full of pictures from late 2012 to today.

I hope to make some friends, get support when I need it, support others when they need it, and be all around helpful and active here ^^ I dunno what else to say, and I am nervous beyond all belief, so I bid farewell for now!
