Title: Hi I'm New
Post by: AfflictedAlex on March 08, 2016, 01:25:59 PM
Hi Everyone,

My Name is Alex, 19 years of age, I was MAAB called William. Currently I am not entirely sure who I am, but I am sure I'm not solely Male if at all (if that makes sense...).

As I have said I am 19, I live in the UK. Over the past few years I have been feeling off about myself, after discovering that I was attracted to both men and women and later realising that I was Pan-sexual, I thought that it would all go away. Alas it did not but returned with vengeance, thinking that this was something that everybody had to deal with I just got on with normal life.

I can't remember when but I learned about trans people and the trans community, at first I dismissed it as something of which I was a part. Over the coming months I started hearing about the Trans community more and more (as if it was fate), as it became more prominent in my mind I started looking into the whole community, and realised that there were many times in which my own thoughts during my life have matched those of people brave enough to speak out about their transition and especially themselves before they transitioned.

Anyway today I have made my first baby steps into trying to make sense of me. I bought my first item of women's clothing, while not being widely different from what I usually wear (a pair of black Skinny Jeans) it has given me the confidence to join this wonderful site (my second step).

I hope that I can meet lots of friends here.

With lots and lots of Love

Alex xxx

Hi Alex,

I'm new here, too. It's nice to meet you, and also agender at the moment, though I'm considering a transition to male...

I just wanted to say hello, really! And to wish you lots of support in your next baby steps. Alex is a great name, btw - one of my best friends is agender and named Alex, and they frequently change to Lexi in their more feminine moods.

Take care - Dana

Thank you both so much for the kind welcome.

Dana thank you for helping me put a name to how I am right now Agender, just kind of feels right, I also use Lexi/Alexa (as well as Alex) when I feel predominantly like a girl (although only to myself as my Father could give Donald Trump, Nick Griffin and Nigel Farage a run for their money when it comes to acceptance of the trans community).
