My name is Charlie. I'm FtM and 19 years old. I have been registered here for awhile, but I am always at a loss for words when I have to introduce myself. I live in southeast Alabama and have a virtually non-existent social life. I have gone to three PFLAG meetings in the last three months (they are only once a month here), and met some great people, but I would really like to have some kind of interaction with people more than once a month. I am hoping to find that here. :icon_flower:

Hey, welcome to Susans!
Congratulations of taking your first steps. Many people are in the same place as you with a limited social life and little interaction with people in your position. Don't ever be afraid to speak here, you'll always find people to talk to and who are here for you :)

Hey Charlie, nice to meet you.
Unfortunately for you, Alabama isn't the best place for meeting friends who accept you for who you really are. I still have problems with this at university, in Michigan, outside of the transgender group that meets one weekly, which still isn't often enough to express myself the way I truly am, instead of putting up a male persona to mask it.
I feel your pain, bro, and wish there was something more that I could do to help, even if it was something simple as a hug.
Whatever you feel, know that it's not the end of the road, and that people really do care for you and want you to be happy, in fact, you deserve to be happy. :)

Hey Charlie!
I'm new to posting in the forums as well! And, as another poster said, Michigan isn't the social capital of the world :P so I get it. I hope you find everything you're looking for here!
