Alright how should I start this off...facts? Yes, facts will do quite well
-I'm 18, almost 19 years old[my birthday is in a couple weeks!]
-I go to school in Rhode Island, and I'm a freshman in Culinary Arts
-My favorite musicians/bands are Emilie Autumn, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Forgive Durden, Lindsey Stirling, and Mindless Self Indulgence.
-I only rather recently came to the conclusion that I am transgender, identifying as FtM/transmasculine. Recent as in a few days before Christmas ^-^" However, even with the conclusion only coming recently, it makes a lot of sense looking back. There are many, many memories and instances of questioning, but I often pushed away the idea of being trans, thinking "no, that's not me, is it..? Nah, I just like dressing in a more masculine style! Right...!"
-I have a policy to be completely honest and open, for better or for worse, though lately it's been only helping!
-Related to that last note, I also will answer basically any question that someone has the courage to ask, so long as I am capable, and it only has to do with myself, or if I have permission from the person the question may relate to.
-Favorite movies are Labyrinth, Repo! The Genetic Opera, Hard Candy, Nightmare Before Christmas, Frozen, and Heathers, among others. Related to that, my favorite shows are Doctor Who, Supernatural, Hannibal, Pushing Daisies, and Once Upon a Time.
-My preferred pronouns are he/him/his or they/them/their, though I'm not really out to a lot of people, so they know me as female and by my birth name. Oh! With that statement I suppose I should say my chosen name, which is Lukas!
It is an absolute delight to meet you folks, and I can't wait to get to know you all more!

Ah, culinary arts. We will have a lot to talk about.
Just one question ... who will you be tomorrow. ::) (Yes, I am that silly!)
Hello and welcome to Susan's.
:)
Hi Lukas,
Welcome to the family. I do a LOT of cooking and baking, but have no degree in culinary arts. What seems to get me by is the fifty years experience baking. What I have to show is chocolate chip cookies that vaporize. You will find someone here that you can discuss anything with!
