Hello everyone, My name is jaxon and I am newly out as FTM trans, I have questioned my gender all my life and Im fnally at a point where I can take a second to acknolwedge it. After moving halfway across the us (texas to california) I discovered that I wanted to be more masculine. This didnt come as a shock to me considering my whole life Ive fet odd or different. The one probem I was facing was how do I tell my long term girl friend of 2 years who is finally secure in her idenity and who also is going through a stressfull PhD program that I now all of the sudden feel that it is time to change and be who I really am. my family situation before moving was turing into a disaster due to a cousin with addiction problems so my partner already wanted me to start therapy. It wasnt untill we started looking for therapists that I brought up my gender issues. That was 4 months ago. Its been a crazy ride since then due to my many depressive breakdowns. but Ive been in therapy for a while and I think Ive finally come to terms that I want to be a male in society. Now my girlfriend only knows that Im thinking of a name and that I have a Packer that i am starting to use. I am slowly learning that I am my own person and I need to be me before I try to please everyone around me. With that said this is my first time coming out to society as Jaxon the Trans male in the very beggining stages. I mostly need to vent my feeling which I feel much better about at the moment. Feel free to leave any support and advice you can give, I need all the courage I can get!
