Post by: HarryP on November 06, 2009, 01:53:25 PM
Hey guys (and girls who are reading too)

I'm Harry.  I'm a trans guy from the UK (Wales) and I found this site the other day, read lots of forum posts, found it a really cool community and decided to join - so here I am!  :)

Welcome to the monkey house*

I'm glad to see you found this site as did I. It is definitely informative and a 'community'.

I'm in Rhode Island and so far can't find many who are like me. I've only met 1 F2M recently and that was in CT at a convention.

I know what you mean Kurzar, I too felt very isolated at first but recently I've met a couple of trans guys in my area - strangely, I knew one guy for ages and we didn't even know each other was trans until we both came out to each other on the same day! And today a friend came out to me as mtf so I'm looking forward to helping her with her transition, I can be her big bro  :) If you're new to transitioning check out vids on youtube about passing etc, and also google Hudson's Guide (sorry if you know that already)  :)

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

I'm impressed you know some Welsh mate! I have a couple of trans guy friends and we can speak Welsh but we have to switch to English when we talk about trans stuff cos none of us know the Welsh for "STP" or "packer" or anything lol! Haha and I wish I was Prince Harry - in Britain we have a big service on TV for Rememberance Sunday where the Royal Family lay poppy wreaths to commemorate the soldiers who have died in war, and Prince Harry was today looking very handsome in an army uniform  :)

Yeah, that's all that's left of my foray into the language when I was first in college. I still have my Living Welsh book, though. So if I really wanted to, I could learn how to say, "Pardon me, but your STP is showing." Gimme a minute.

Hunh. I can't find "STP" in the dictionary section. Well, I guess you warned me about this...oh, wait, they have an entry for "fuel additives." Would that work? >:-)

Welcome, and I can say a seasonal Nadolig Llawen y Blwyddin Newydd Dda (although not entirely sure of the spelling, I sounded it out). Welsh was my Dad's first language. I'm not fluent, but I can order a cup of coffee and say thank you. Given the time of year of our visits back to the family, my Welsh vocabulary tends to be heavily weighted toward Christmas words.

Geez, I could've said Croeso as well. D'oh.
