Hi,
Over the last few years my life has been both amazing and it's fallen apart. I've gotten married! Yay! Been in a crazy financial crisis. Not yay. Gained familial support. Yay! Lost my shot at a degree. Another not yay. Things have been nuts but those are the biggest points that I'm going to air online for now. Things have been stressful enough without hiding who I am. So, I came out to those closest to me. They were all very chill with it. It really couldn't have gone better. I'm FTM (I think). In all honesty I may be more of an androgyne. I haven't fully come to terms with all of it myself. I feel weird for that. It seems that it should be a simple: "are you a male or not?" I don't know. All I know is that I feel wrong. My body doesn't match up to my brain. I'm not on hormones. I can't afford the breast reduction I need. I have no resources. I'm rather close to MTF person, but as you all know, they go through some different challenges so the resource base only overlaps to a point. I'm really just wanting community for now. I have a great support system but they don't know what I'm feeling first hand. Talking to others who know from experience would be nice.
