Title: Not binary, woo hoo!
Post by: Bombadil on March 15, 2014, 04:39:19 PM
I guess I should introduce myself. I chose my name because as a kid that's how I identified myself. I did not want to be called a girl. I resisted all things girl. When I was 11 there was a show about someone who transitioned to male with all the surgery. I was so excited at first. I remember telling my mom "I could do that!". I thought about it long and hard and decided I wouldn't make a good male. I was so bummed and though that meant I was stuck being female.

Maybe a year ago I heard the term "genderqueer". I was so excited. Finally. Finally I found something that fit me. I feel like I've figured this out kind of late. I don't want to fully transition to male but I don't want to be female either. My first purchased binder is supposed to arrive in the mail today. Woo hoo. I'm seriously considering taking testosterone. I guess that covers it.

Heh, sorry if anything I said was TMI.

A big warm welcome to the family Tomboy! This is a really great family to belong to because no matter how you define yourself you are totally accepted. Transition isn't for everyone and the only thing important is how YOU feel. You will find the support and information here invaluable as it comes from REAL people at all different stages of transition. Feel free to rant, vent, share good news (we like that a LOT), learn or just have some fun and meet the rest of the family. Here is a BIG HUG  :icon_hug: to welcome you and make you feel right at home! :)

Thank you. I appreciate the warm welcome. I did have one question. I assume that after my status reaches "newbie' I  won't have to do the verification thing?

I am super excited to talk to people who understand and have walked this journey. I hope I don't overwhelm you with questions.
