Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I guess I should start by saying that I'm new to this. Not just the TG community, but to the idea of being part of it myself. I would also like to apologize (if necessary) because at the moment I'm not sure if this is even a part of who I am. In no way do I wish to take away meaning from experiences of others by trying to present myself as something I'm not. That being said I guess a bit of background is in order.

I've always toyed with the notion of cross dressing and gender blurring. I don't think the "genderf**k" term fits because to me it implies purposefully trying to confuse people but I admit that it does seem like a fun concept from time to time  >:-). Emotionally I don't see myself as dominantly male or female but both are present. I see myself a bit chameleonic in that I tend to be more masculine around guys and more feminine around girls. When I'm alone, like the chameleon without a background, I will revert to my "natural color". As far as genetically I'm a plain old XY hetero kinda guy. I'll leave it at this for now since my brain is swimming with things I want to say, but at the same time I can't think of anything to say if that makes sense.

Thanks for the welcomes. To give a bit more information I've done a bit of searching on some medical sites about certain parts of my anatomy that have confused me through most of my life. I may have been born with an undiagnosed and untreated case of Cryptorchidism. It is a condition where one, or both, testicles are missing and can be for various reasons (mainly not descending). It can lead to lower testosterone which would explain why I don't feel a very dominantly male identity. I think I see a doctor visit and some testing in my future.

Hi Selinda

Very welcome to the forum.
Seeing a doctor makes sense, it can be explaining a lot to you.
In case you have other questions, just shoot.
If we can help, we'll do.

hugs
