Hi all,
All of you are doing well today I hope. I introduced myself about 2 years ago, but have been off the radar a while due to school, so I am re-introducing and hope to hold a fulfilling environment on this forum.
Jesse here. I am FTM. I've known my whole life but fell overboard and off the wagon beginning in puberty. I am from the south, a ma'am/sir binary kind of place, with a homophobic family, and classify myself as a straight guy, closeted. I am always pushing through insecurities every day and would like to know all of you who have successfully pushed past them and also those who are struggling with me.
I just graduated from graduate school and am going back for a degree I can actually find a high-paying job with. I hope to transition during my college years. How long has everyone known here before they decided to transition finally? It took me a full a little over 10 years before it was unbearable.
I am in the stage of trying to remember who I was before 10 years, all the hobbies and things I did and why I couldn't do them. It is so depressing being in this state of mind. I am happy there are resources that we can partake, very grateful indeed, and especially for Susan's.
Be my friend, yeah?

VM,
Thank you! It is good to see you on here. If people stay friendly like this, I could be on this forum for a large portion of my day. Uh-oh! ::)
