Hey, my name's Ky. My birth name is Alexandra but I wanna start going by Ky. I'm eighteen and a closeted FtM transsexual. Right now, I'm just looking for support and friends. I enjoy basketball, football, and playing catch with my family. I recently took up skateboarding. I have a dog that is my best friend. I have yet to tell anybody that I'm transgender, but I'd like to start seeing a counselor really, really soon. My dad would not like that I'm a transgender, and neither would most of my family. My mom would just be like "okay?" but she wouldn't really be emotionally supportive. My favorite color is purple and most people call me a guy anyways but obviously, I'm pretty insecure. I have a baby face, yes. I already know that. Even as a female, people think I'm twelve-thirteen years old. Sshh. I'm short, standing at 5'2 but I blame my Irish heritage when people ask about my growth spurt. My voice already passes for the most part except in recordings. I eventually want to get on T and completely get rid of my chest, but for now, I just stick with baggy shirts.
This is when I met one of my idols, Jake Miller. He's completely amazing. Check out his song "Steven".

This is my blue hair. Thought I looked like a young Billie Joe Armstrong hahaha

Hey ky, welcome to Susans! :) Nice introduction. Purple is a rather awesome color, isn't it. After all, it is a royal color. Quite fitting for a king like myself. :D I'm a closeted ftm transgender person as well. If it is friends and support you are looking for, then you have come to the right place! Hope to see you around!

Hi Ky, and welcome to our family. :)
I'm the same height as you, which I tend to put down to being 'fun-sized'. And even though I'm in my 40s I still get asked for ID when I buy alcohol, so I know a few things about being baby-faced too. ;)
You'll find us a warm, welcoming bunch who have been through a lot of what you're going through now and will go through in the future. We're here for you.

Welcome to Susan's Ky!
*Throws some confetti in the air and gives you a welcoming puppy*
I'm 5"2' myself so I can feel your pain there, in my case I blame the Danish blood that runs through me xD
I like the blue hair you got going there, have actually been considering going blue myself!
As for the baby face, you are not alone there. I'm turning 24 and just the other day I got asked for my ID for ordering coffee... But! While I still can get away with it, I buy teen bus tickets to save money xD Embrace the baby face¨:P
Again, welcome to Susan´s Ky :) I hope you will like it here as much as I have.
