Hey! My name is Chris. I am a 28 year old grad student, and I am about to start testosterone sometime in the middle of summer.
For most of my life, I hardly paid much attention to my own gender. I have always enjoyed male-typical activities, but I was raised kind of to be manly, and thought it was perfectly fine for girls to be like me (which it is). However, over the last few years, the disconnect between my gender and my biological sex has become more problematic for me. I am tired of the ever-increasing frustration I have with my body (which I was in denial of for so long since ironically it isn't very manly to complain about your body). Don't get me wrong; I believe women are beautiful and have wonderful bodies, but my own body looks somewhat off to me. I have looked in the mirror and seen a man cross-dressing whenever I have tried dressing femininely if that makes any sense, haha. I totally feel like a man even in a miniskirt.
Ok, I am way more complicated than that, but I am too lazy to type more right now. :D
Anyway, looking forward to talking to you all!
