The Introduction.
Been a long time listener, and now first time caller. I first introduced myself on the IRC channel and after a warm welcome there I've gathered up the nerve to make the account here and post.
It's been a long life so far, even though it's only been 28 years of it. I've gone through enough intro posts to know that my story here isn't any different then anyone else's so I'll keep this down to a few special issues.
I am (or at least feel strongly about being) TS though I don't think I'll be able to do anything about it any time soon if at all. At 6'2 235 pounds I'm not on HRT nor do I play the role of my desired gender. I can't stand how I look but I'm just going to have to cope. The one part of me that bugs me second most is my Gynecomastia. Even though the most obvious part that I look other then I feel, I don't know what's going on inside of me. One of the next steps for me is to get blood work done to see what's what. One of the things I'll be looking for is Klinefelter's syndrome. The symptoms seem to explain a lot of my past and some of my current issues.
My goal is to learn how to deal with who I am and how to control the emotional lag on my life being who I am. I've been learning as much as possible about all of this and I have a few idea's of what to do, but I have no support locally from the people I call friends or family. My GF of ten years has no clue, nor have I even come close to telling her. If I do get a confirmation on Klinefelter's syndrome or anything else then I'll tell her, but I don't think I could tell her anything else.
Thanks to those who made me feel welcome in chat and thanks to everyone here for making your experience available for someone like me to be able to learn and understand better what's going on in my life. It helps a lot to know that I'll have a place to talk to people when I need it.

Hello LivingInGrey,
It's nice to meet you.
For different reason I to can do little about my body not matching my true gender.
Coping is not always easy, but life does go on and all the friends here at Susan's are a great encouragement.
I'm so glad you have joined.

Hello, LivingInGrey,
That sounds like a good nickname for you at this time. There are more grey areas in this universe than we know of.
This place has some very experienced people in it. Learn and teach while you're here. Nothing takes the place of sharing.
Wishing you well.
