Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I'm a biological female, and this is all pretty new to me. I live in Alabama, so I never even thought that much about the possibility of changing my sex until now. I just turned nineteen. I've identified as a somewhat butch bisexual leaning towards females for a few years but have never been in a relationship. I'm kind of suddenly having an intense desire to present as male. I've thought before that I would be more attractive as a guy, and I've never liked shaving or having to wear a bra. The only reason I ever played with barbies was to take all of their clothes off. One time I was mistaken for a boy and called sir and I was flattered. But I never insisted that I was a boy as a child. I even had crushes on quite a few boys before I hit puberty. I also don't hate my body and can't see myself getting bottom surgery, although I would like to bind so that I could look male. I'm sorry for the novel. I just have no one to talk to and am very dysphoric for the first time in my life.

Welcome!  I'm sure there are some guys here who can relate to you.  Perhaps visiting the FtM forum may do some good.

Welcome! You pretty much just described my situation exactly!  :) This is a great place to explore your gender identity and to learn about yourself and others. That's pretty much what I've been doing since I joined. Feel free to ask any questions you have; everyone here is extremely friendly and and willing to help. Again, welcome!

NotLooking!  A warm welcome to you.

Hi NL2MR, welcome to Susan's Place! Don't look to your left either, it may say Complaint Department, but it's actually that old, abandoned, bottomless well! See you around the site, hugs, Devlyn
