Title: I'm very new...
Post by: ShortCircuit on December 09, 2013, 11:25:15 AM
Hello, I had just recently came out about being transgender FtM this past August.  The thing of it is, I feel about 70% male, and 30% female.  I still love to dress up in very feminine clothing, heels, and dresses, but I also love to wear men's button up shirts, ties, and dress shoes.  I don't know if I'd be considered still as a transman or not, but I feel more comfortable as a man that a woman.  I'm the only one I know personally who is trans, so when I try and talk to other people about it, they don't think I'd be a trans man since I am a straight female.  I just have so many questions, and even though my fiance tries to help, he doesn't even know what to say.  Luckally I picked a good one :) He is bi and actually doesn't mind me dressing and acting as a guy.  I don't ever wish to get bottom surgery, but breast cancer does tend to show up in our family history, so if I had to get them removed, I don't think i'd mind. :( I'm just kinda lost here with no one to talk to.  Thank you for reading.

Welcome to Susan's ShortCircuit!

Gender identity and gender expression are two different things.  Regardless of how you dress, the question you need to ask yourself is "Am I a man?".  You've made a good start to finding answers by joining up here.  See you around!
