Title: Hi - so here goes nothing
Post by: Miyabi on September 26, 2009, 12:40:26 AM
Hello,

My name is Chris.  I am a 19 year old male.  I have always known I was different.  I have spent the last 5 or so years living as a gay male.  This still doesn't seem quite right to me.  I have recently begun considering and thinking that I could potentially be transgendered.  At the advice of a friend, I decided to seek out a transgender community and discuss with them this possibility and see what they thought and see if their input and experience might help me.

I am currently going to college for Game Programming.  My absolute favorite thing in the world right now is color-guard.  I think I would die without it.  Ha ha.

Uhm, if there's more you want to know I guess you could ask.

Thanks!

I've already posted a thread (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,65785.0.html) in the MTF section giving my story and my concerns.  =]  I will also start looking for answers to many of my questions.

This one time at band camp... I met this kid who thought he might be a girl...  ;)

Sorry, I just couldn't avoid this one. Welcome to the family Chris. When I was a young-whipper-snapper like you, I knew nothing about ->-bleeped-<- (I don't even think the term existed then) and was severely in denial about my desires. It took me nearly 5 decades to come to this realization that I was in fact a woman in a guys body. Now that I know, life is looking shiny and new.

I hope you can find all of the answers to the questions that are running through your mind now and in the future. I would also suggest when you are able, get in touch with a gender therapist, they will be able to really help you figure things out.

Welcome to the family, wherever you end up.  :icon_hug:
