Title: Hello there!
Post by: TheFatDiplomat on March 24, 2014, 05:37:33 PM
Hey, hi, how's it going?

In case it is not glaringly obvious by my blatant awkwardness, this is my first post here. Hello!

I'm JT and I am a twenty-six year old transman. I have been out as transgender to my friends since fourteen and my family since twenty-two with varying results. Luckily, what I'm lacking in familial support is more than overcome by friend support, so I'm doing pretty good. :) My path to gender clarity has been long and fraught with doubt and my own self-defeating tendencies, but I have emerged victorious.

I had to pause my transition plans because of a cancer scare late last year but now things are on the up and up and I am ready to roll. My second visit with the gender therapist is tomorrow and thus (re)begins the three month evaluation required by my state. Huzzah!

In any case, I hope everyone has a great day today. :D

With a victorious attitude like yours, hopefully that won't be the case.   ;)

Hello and welcome,  I hope your journey can continue uninterrupted this time.  Believe me it is never easy I have started and stopped more times than you can believe.  Hopefully this will be the last for me.  Good luck and stay strong.
