Hi, I'm glad to finally join this forum! It's a pleasure to meet you all. I've been lurking here for maybe a little bit over a year, maybe? Anyway, let's tell my story.
In any case, I'm Jessica, an 18-year-old MTF, currently am a full-time college student. There, I'm basically a hermit crab; however, I wish I could be more social, I'm alone quite alone a lot of the time and it bothers me, I feel I'm wasting years that should be fun in my life. I have a felling it has more to due with my issues with the male social role I find myself thrust into, you know? I find it hard to talk to people because if I'm talking to them, it's not as me, it's a disguise of me.
My transition has tried to take off a couple times; but it's getting there, I think. I told my parents who I truly was at age 16; unfortunately, after 2 exhausting years of therapy, I find myself still in the pre-transition phase, and without HRT. Despite, I should be on it within a few months, as I have found an endo and a doctor who actually knows what kind of letter I need. At least my parents happen to be super supportive, it really helps me out.
After a year, I join the site now? Why? Well, Tuesday afternoon I saw a open forum discussion about trans issues, to better educate people about what we go through on a day-to-day basis. While there, I noticed not only another transgirl who I knew before, but also one of our members, JessicaR. She's so nice! :) I really appreciate all she help she gave with answering my questions, and offering me resources to go to in my local area.
I hope to do the best I can with any help others may need during their transition, and that this community could do the same for me.
See you all around,
*hugs*
