Title: Hei There
Post by: Dyrik on March 26, 2009, 08:52:35 AM
Hei, I'm an FtM, 20 years old.  I learnt about TG stuff when I was 14 for the first time and realized how much sense everything made all of a sudden.

So I told my folks I wanted to be a man, they were really not too impressed and tried scaring me away and it worked for a few years.  But as of this past year I just really started to dislike identifying as female.  So I told them again, they were surprisingly a lot better about it.  But I think that's because they knew I was going to do it anyways.  So here I am, lost and confused.

That is exactly what I came here for.  I'm glad I came to the right place then.

Hi Dyrik,   :icon_wave:

Welcome to our little family. Over 1900 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion. Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers.  Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now.  And it is always nice to have another sister.   :icon_hug:

Hi Dyrik,

Welcome to Susan's, you are lucky that your parents see that you need to be you and that's a really good thing.

Paula.

Ja, I know I was really lucky actually.  I've met up with a couple TGs that were not so lucky.

Well it will be good to join such a large family, thanks.

Well its always a good thing when your parents are on your side. I live at home and hardcore fear telling my parents. I as of right now live two lives. Anyways... welcome to Susans. Take a look around and soak up all the information you can.

Hi Dyrik
The first and most frightening step is acceptance of yourself. The second is coming out to loved ones.
Well done Bro!  My gosh I have two new brothers in one night. Must be breeding season :D

Love
Cindy James

Well, I can't say I was thrilled about having to tell them, but with the steps I want to take I figured there wasn't any hiding it.

I am pretty comfortable with my decision.

I'm just glad I'm not the only "brother", as I seem to be in many places.  Its just nice to have found a place that has a nice mix of guys and gals.
