Hello to all!
I am Leo, an FtM from the US, and pre-everything. I've been reading from these forums for a while so I figured it'd be pretty handy to create an account. I'm not really good at descriptions of myself, though I can say that I'm very shy and socially awkward IRL. Some of my miscellaneous hobbies include Soccer, Basketball, MMORPGs, Gaming in general, Tumblr, and going to Conventions. Hopefully in the journey of my transition I will also learn to be more confident in communicating towards others. It's a pleasure to be here and to have the opportunity of being in a supportive community like this. :)
Welcome, Leo! Glad to have you here. :)
As you have been visiting for a while, you know we are a pretty friendly group. We have a great FtM board and community here. Glad you joined in.
Hello Leo, welcome to Susan's. I've been here for a year or two now and I can say that you've found an excellent support site for resources and people who can relate. I actually got more shy after transition, which is probably due to more of my true nature coming out...that and crippling social anxiety.
Pre transition I used video games to cope with my Dysphoria, I pretty much went through one after another trying to escape my daily life and how crappy it was. I still enjoy video games but just not as much as pre transition. :)
See you around,

Hi Leo! I've recently got sucked back into Tumblr. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of conventions do you go to?
