Hi there, my name is Drey. I am a 41 yo FTM. My story...hmmm...well, I've known since I was a kid (5 or 6 yo) that I was really male, not female. Most of us share that story, right? I remember playing "dress up", too. I would put on a very country-fied button-down shirt, jeans, cowboy boots, a tie and a cowboy hat. I would walk around the neighborhood all tough and rumble. It was awesome. I would tell everyone I met that I was really a boy and that I had, had a sex-change. A sex-change. That's coming from a 6 yo. I still have no idea where I got that phrase. Anyway, I started doing the IM injections of Testosterone this past week. I'm very excited!! I don't know that I have any words of wisdom to offer, but I have learned a couple of things since I started coming to this site. Thank you for having me, guys. It's nice to have someone to talk to that is going thru the same things that I am...or went thru them, at some point. My wife is my rock, but this is new to her, as well. I hope we make some friends along the way! Take care...
