Hi! I haven't settled on a name yet, but you can just call me by my username or part of it or really whatever you want. I'm a teenage transguy with problems enough for two people and a goat. I'm some sort of depressed with only two (close) well-meaning but unhelpful friends. My two older sisters are supportive but clueless about my trans identity and far away at college. Both of my brothers are also great, but the younger one (only by a year) is naturally less knowledgeable about these things and the older is usually busy with work, the military, his fiance, and college. My mother loves her boyfriend of maybe 2 years more than her five children, while her husband of 14+ years, (boyfriend for 16+ and friend for who-knows-how-long) my father, puts up with everything she does to keep the love of his life in his life. My youngest aunt, who has practically been my best friend for four years and lived in the house next to my family's, is moving to Idaho in April.
I know that's all horrifyingly sad, especially if you're a stranger reading it and picturing it in your head, so please don't worry about me. I love to draw and write and stay up all night playing Sims or Minecraft and eating junk food and drinking soda. I have plenty of nice friends and people in my life to keep me going. I'm turning sixteen soon, getting my driver's permit, an awesome tattoo, and hopefully a job. I had a great day today playing video games and spending time with my aunt and I hope yours was great, too.
Something I almost forgot to add! I've come across this site a lot looking up various trans things and I'm glad to have finally joined it, and thank you for being there to help me!

Some people come out in a letter or text... and show some materials later...
And some people make a comparison with a twin... they will be like their male/female twin, with still the same sense of humour...
I'd say take part... look around... and ask questions if you have any :)
Here are other young trans people:

Welcome to Susan's Place. As you may have discovered, there is information on just about anything you might have questions about. There is a Youth section where you can connect with others like yourself and if you can't find what you need, just ask and somebody should be along shortly with an answer. As for your name, if you decide on a new one, the moderators (orange color) will be happy to change it for you.
My transition was completed in 1982 and I am also impressed with this site. It would have been extremely useful to me had it existed and would have saved me much time and money. If there is anything I can help you with, let me know.
A hearty welcome to Susan's, TransGaymer.
:)
