Title: Oh, hey. :)

Hello there. I'm an ftm boy.
I say boy because I'm only in high school. I say ftm, rather than a name because I'm still working on picking a male name. Although, I quite like Jakob. The k, rather than c, seems unprofessional but oh well, it is my name.
I know I've got a long way to go in life. With everything. Including this part of me. I seek advice on certain issues. Transgender information has not been very accessible for me. That is part of the reason I joined this site.
Many people wrote about their first trans issues that occurred or something like it. So I will mention a bit of that. I suppose I first started having trans issues in preschool-kindergarten. I told people to call me Hunter. After that, I had many more issues and several boy names.
I'm not out to many people. Well, I'm out as bisexual. Came out as so at 13. I don't really feel bisexual, though. I just love who I feel like. And I love Kaitlyn. So maybe that makes me straight. Who knows, who cares... Anyways, I'm not out as transgender to anyone other than online people, an ex friend and my beautiful girlfriend. I'd like to be out. I really, really want to be. I'm sick of being treated as a girl. But I'm scared. Very afraid.
Anyway, thanks for reading this. Hope to find support.

Welcome! I've met a few people with the given name "Jakob" spelled like that, so I think it's a pretty well-accepted spelling. Oh, and I think you might end up liking the term "pansexual" to describe yourself if you have feelings for people regardless of their gender, be it male, female, or something else. Nice to meet you!

Jakob, welcome, man!
Look, you've found a great website here, and that's the plain truth. Want trans info? It's here. Want new friends? You'll find them. Want acceptance? Here it is.
You're SO young, so a welcome from an old-timer like me may not mean much, but we very much welcome your generation here. Got any questions? Ask 'em. Want to make any comments? Then please do. Relax, settle in and get comfortable. You've found a "trans e-home" that'll you'll probably really like.
:) Lacey

Hey! You guys are making me feel more and more like an old man. Is 23 too young to sit on the porch and yell at people to get off my lawn? :P
Anyways, welcome to Susan's! I hope you find what you're looking for here.

Welcome aboard young feller! Lots of interesting people and info here.
Jakob sounds European and cool, so shouldn't be a hassle.
Lee, I'll get another rocker for the porch so you can yell at the skate board kids with me!
