Title: sorry lets start this differently

My name is Jonny. I'm extremely shy in the LGBT community. I'm ftm. I've tried coming out a few times but people really didn't like it. I got scared and quickly scuffled back into my closet of rejection and solitude. I see myself as a man trapped in a woman's body. I had a very hard time growing up because of it. I've gotten a little more used to it. While I see that everything does have its ups and downs I still view myself as a man inside a woman. I've tried to be a normal girl a few times and it really doesn't work much for me. I do act effeminate sometimes but even that doesn't make me feel girly. Honestly everytime I wear a skirt I feel very much like a cute lil drag queen. (cute and lil because I'm very petite) I do like putting on makeup and showy/fancy skirts because it makes me feel closer to the gay (male) community. Dont get the wrong idea though, its fun for vanity but I tend to be a "man" of practicality. I don't wear such things too often. I prefer pants. I just try to work with what I got. Heh look at me babbling on about my clothes, I'm giving you the wrong impression arent I? Somebody might try to talk to me about brands or fashion and I'll be all like "What?" I like video games alot rpgs and puzzles are my favorites. I love going out. I am a young adult. I have two cats. I live in Texas. I love cupcakes! and I'm new to the forum so hello.

Hi Johnny,
There is a lot of support here. It has helped me in more ways than I can count when it comes to dealing with the non-trans world.

Welcome, Johnny! Like LordKAT, I've found this place to really help me figure out this puzzle some of us were presented with.
Enjoy your explorations.

Is it near Big Spring? My family owns some land out there I would so love to inherit it just cuz one of the houses they have out there would look really nice if I fixed it up! I came from a very small conservative farm town but I remember being 5 years old and making alot of vows to myself most of which I kept. I've always been so displaced but I feel better now I'm in a decent city and can make my own choices. But I'm still way too scared to come out to my family. They are UBER christian right wing conservatives I dont think I need to give them another reason to hate me.
