My name is Andrew but I go by Drew. I'm 23 years old and I live in Dallas, Texas. I'm a Transman, I've been on Testosterone for 1 year and 6 months.
I've lived a very privileged life and it's been a tough road to get to this point. There are not that many transmen where I live that openly talk about who they are or even feel comfortable in their own skin. I've received a lot of support and so many look up to me but I don't get why. It gets tiring having to be the role model when I don't even know where my life is taking me sometimes. It seems like all my life I've had to be the tough one and deal with things on my own.
I understand that it all takes time and patience but sometimes it feels like I'm drowning...
I've never been all that great at talking to people... so I apologize if I don't make sense, if I got too deep or offended anyone... It's been a tough day... More than anything I come on here to find support..
