Hey, I identify as Eddie 90% of the time especially when I'm not in college classes. When I am in school, I identify as Henri which is an old high school nickname of my birth name especially until I get my name legally changed. I'm 26 and I am trans-male.
I first discovered I was trans when I was about 20 or 21 though, didn't come out (especially socially) which was about a month after my 26th birthday of this year. I used to have trouble dealing with it and believed I could make myself grow out of it and kept convincing myself it might be something else .. it wasn't. I found this site while doing research on the topic of transgenders just last year but didn't join until I was fully out, which brings me to now, I am finally beginning to live life to its fullest now as how I've always felt but was very scared to do before.
I'm also hoping to make some new friends here as I go through my journey to transition from female to male as well as learn more about living as a trans.
A big warm welcome to the family Eddie! We have the GREATEST group of FtMs here and you should hit it off with them just fine. Anything you need just ask and someone will do their best to help out.

Welcome Eddie to Susan's family.
Lots to read and questions are a must. Lol
Thank you Jessica and Mrs Izzy for the warm welcomes. I'll read more into the rules once I get time to, for now I have barely skimmed through most and only read the ones in blue. Other than that, I am looking forward to my time here, especially to talking with other FTMs. I will ask questions where needed, yes. Thank you. :)
