Hi, all!
I'm new to the forum and just wanted to give a brief introductory post :)
I am FTM (pre-op and pre-T), 30 years old and hailing from the USA. I have known for the whole of my recalled existence that I am male in every way, except for the body. I have been called names, mostly 'lesbian' or 'butch', by people in my hometown who didn't understand what transsexual means. I live mostly in the closet at home due to the community in which I live (North Louisiana...very small religious community) and to avoid confusion for my family, especially my grandmother who has dementia and has a difficult enough time recalling who I am. This is all about to change, however, as I have met the love of my life and am in the process of immigrating to Australia to be with her. In her social circles and in AU, I can be myself freely - and have been blessed to have her love and support and the support of her family, friends and community. I will be 'coming out' to my own family at some point in the near future, and we're hoping to get immigration sorted out as quickly as possible so that I can go ahead and transition and we can start our life together.
Good to be a part of this community and I'm looking forward to making some new friends and learning more about you all.
Nice to meet ya. Welcome to our little corner of the world.
