Hello everyone! After months years of lurking in the forums, I finally have registered an account! :D
I am bad at introductions, so I will give this a shot:
My name is Gage Tyler, I am 22 years old, and I am ftm transgender, or as I prefer to say, a transgender male, trans male, transguy, or just dude. lol
I'm currently residing in Northwest Ohio, have been here all of my life... and I can't say that I care for the area much.. When I first starting questioning my gender identity, I googled a lot and this site was always one of the first ones to come up! So I have been reading forum posts back and forth for a few years... heh. Anyways, I identified as genderfluid for 3-4 years, and finally realized that I would not be happy until I completely lived as a male. So I came out to a few close friends around May or June of 2015, then made a facebook post, and finally I came out to my family... which did not go very well, but some progress has been made since then... My dad refuses to budge though.. (That is a story for another time!) I've been seeing a really awesome therapist since June, she helped me get the letter for T and finally on December 3rd, 2015, I got my first shot! :eusa_dance:
Still have a long way to go until I am "completely" transitioned, but I am enjoying the progress so far! :)
Hmm.. what else is there to say about me? Hmm... Well I am an aspiring YouTuber, I plan to go to school for Psychology, specifically studies relating to gender identity, and I want to be an advocate and transgender activist!
I love animals, I am vegan, I am a very kind, caring, and passionate individual (although I have social anxiety, but that doesn't seem to stop me online!) I enjoy music, reading, crafting, and working out when I am not too lazy lol.
That is all I really can think of for now.. If there is anything that anyone wants to know about me, I am not afraid to answer, as I am a pretty open person! ^_^
Welcome to Susan's Place, Gage.
There are quite a few people around here who know their stuff. Lots of good advice if you have questions and I was told the only foolish question was the one never asked!
Someone will be along to post the terms of use which will help you around the site. You won't be able to post a picture until you have 15 posts but everything will be explained.
So, look around and have fun and welcome!
Love,
Clare
