Greetings,
My name is Adrian, I'm a nearly twenty-six, gay transman from the Thirteenth Level of Hell, also known as California. I am pre-op, pre-testosterone currently and I have Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. I've been a lurker for about 2 years before I worked up the courage to finally join today. I'm at the point where the lack of community in my area outside the main downtown/middle-town region is stifling me, so I figured the internet community would work just as well. Presently, I'm working towards a major in world history with a possible second major or minor in cultural anthropology, since my pitiful math skills bar me from entering the halls of my other favourite subject: SCIENCE!

:D Thanks for the warm welcome. It's admittedly very overwhelming for me to know I'm actually part of a community when I spent my childhood and teen years thinking I was insane for identifying as male, instead of the female gender I had been raised with.

Hi Adrian, I'm a trans woman and I was a lurker for almost 2 years too before I joined this week, so I know what you mean. And I also find it overwhelming to be part of Susan's. Deep inside I have always been a girl but I tried to be as male as I could for three decades. It was a complete disaster. For me, it is insane NOT to accept who you really are!
By the way, isn't History and Anthropology science? Just curious because I am a researcher in a "hard science" area.
Good luck with your journey!
