Hey everyone, you can call me noir. I've transgendered for awhile now. For awhile, I had no idea why I felt this way, or what to call it. My parents couldn't help much, as I was a very quiet child, but it's not as though I blame them for not figuring my problem out.
Anyways, I figured out I was transsexual in high school, at about 17. I'm 20 years old now, and not much progress has been made. I'm sorta pessimistic about everything at the moment. There hasn't been much positivity in my life. My parents aren't very supportive, and my sister hates my guts.
I currently work with a non-profit organization, which is attempting to better the world we live in, and I'm proud to be doing this. it's what I want to do with my life. Although moving up in the org and being more integral in it's efforts would be wonderful, the movement as a whole is what I want to better. But I have the stepping stones needed to cross the river, so I'm looking forward to that.
But, it's as though I am neglecting myself, and I want to change that, but I'm just not sure. I'm probably going to end up insane if I don't.
Hi Noir, :icon_wave:
Welcome from the UK! :icon_flower:
Looks like you have already got the hang of the forum pretty well.. ;)
Hopefully we don't all end up going nuts, or there's not much hope for me at my age.. ;D
Bad as things seem, trying to find the right information and something positive in all this can make a difference.. ::)
..and that's what we are here to help with..!
See you on the Forums honey.. ;)

Welcome Noir. There are many like you here. Just sorting your life out at age 20 can be difficult, even without the problem of being TG.
Look around Susan's and explore. There may be a support group near you that can help. You might look into therapy - someone trained to listen and help you sort out what you want to do.
Welcome to Susan's. :D

Welcome noir! :)
Hi Noir
Life is pretty tough at 20 any way. I'm glad M&D are supportive. That really helps. Take things one day at a time. I think most of us feel like we are going nuts most of the time.
Take Care

Welcome to Susan's Noir :)
I'm sure you'll find many friends and great info. here
Hey hey, and welcome.
I'm one of those quiet people too. Keeping my problems to myself so I don't weigh people down. It's not healthy in the long run.
