Hello! Sorry about the cheesy title, but I never know how to start these things off. I'm Gavin, and although it's been twenty years in the making, I've only just recently begun identifying as FTM. It's great to see such a supportive place like this, because I'm used to a lot of casually offensive remarks. At the moment, I don't attempt to pass in normal day activities, since I a) wouldn't pass easily anyway, and b) am still really nervous about coming out publicly. I only have four friends that I've come out to, but now I guess I have over 9,000 forum friends that I've come out to, too, by posting on here. And that's amazing.
Anyway, I never know how much to write in these introductions, so I think I'll leave it at that, rather than ramble incessantly (because that's a habit I'm prone to, which might be obvious by the way I'm typing now. Oh dear.) I hope all of you are having excellent days, and I look incredibly forward to talking with everyone on these boards!
Hi Gavin, welcome to Susans! :)
