Hey,
my name is Alex and I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I started transitioning in 2008 with the help of my therapist Helma Seidl here in Ottawa. I completed name change and started living full time as myself in June of 2008. I started taking testosterone July 25th 2008, I had top surgery (chest reconstruction-double incision with nipple grafts) February 25th 2010 with Dr. Silverman here in Ottawa. I had my left ovary and fallopian tubes removed March 1st 2010 (right ovary was removed in 1996 due to PCOS).
I work for the LCBO (provincially run liquor store) as a Product Consultant (sommelier) and transitioned on the job. I am out and consider myself genderqueer, transmasculine, a transguy-depends on the day! Easiest way for me is I am more comfortable presenting as male. Though I am out is is not the first subject I usually broach with people, especially my customers!
I am a pretty boring down to earth guy who should probably take better care of himself!!! At least in terms of diet, exercise, and quitting smoking!!!!!
Anyways if you want to know just ask!
Ciao for now,
Alex

Hi Alex, :icon_wave:
Welcome to our little family. Over 6700 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.
Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams. Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.
But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another brother. :icon_hug:
And be sure to check out these links ( MUST READS )
Hugs and Love,
Janet
