Title: Hi From TX
Post by: Adrian26 on April 08, 2025, 03:04:30 PM
Seeing as I'm still a teenager I thought I'd introduce myself here since I did in a different part of the forums. I'm Adrian, a 17, almost 18, yo FtM from the Panhandle of Texas. I love rodeo, reading, and country music. I'm the oldest of three and I feel like that's shaped my personality a lot. I am still in the beginning stages of my transition and this experience overall. It clicked that something was different about me around 6-7 months ago, but looking back I realize that I was different long before that. As a kid I always did traditionally "male" things such as playing in the mud and just getting dirty overall. I was always a tomboy and now I realize that the feeling like I wasn't who I was supposed to be was right, but not in the way I thought. Understanding who I truly am has been amazing and I hope to better understand myself away from my family and the place that only knows me by my dead name and birth gender. So yeah, that's me. 🙃
