Title: Hey All, New here and to the whole forum thing
Post by: Tearza on July 26, 2010, 12:13:14 PM
Hey everybody,

As said above, I am not only new to here but also new to forums, so please forgive me if I make some mistakes or something :P  Let's see, I was never very good at intro's.  I'm a 26 yo M2F, started T blockers in February and then Estrogen towards the end of April, so I am about 3 1/2 months on hormones.  Obviously pre-op, I would say I am sort of still in boy mode all the time, but everyone I know uses female pronouns with me and calls me by my girl name and not my boy name.  It's actually rather shocking when I do hear it, hehe.  Still working on the voice, facial hair being dealt with, but still at a loss for learning how to do make-up other than my usual hardcore skater-goth eyeliner work  >:-) 

Now I guess I could tell y'all some of my interests haha.  I play piano, guitar, and am pretty good at vocals (which are unfortunately still in bass), want to learn the 5 sting bass guitar and violin.  I pretty much listen to any type of music, country and rap very little of but some.  My personal style is a mix of skater punk, goth, scene, and professional :)  I just am who I am and if I like something I get it, screw fitting myself in a box.  I love Japanese culture and history, as a matter of fact I make traditional kimono and accessories as well as samurai artifacts (Not the swords though).

My history is a bit skewed.  Goddess this post is getting long, sorry all.  I was born and raised in a military family, on base housing, and by parents who were both second gen Irish immigrants.  So needless to say I had no idea what trans was.  I think it was around freshman year I first heard the term "Bi", which threw me for a loop.  When I was 20 yo I discovered the trans community, and I felt so... I can't think right now, but you all get it I am sure.  I finally had discovered people who were like me, who felt like I always had.  Well a few years of research and a while of denial later, here I be.

Right now I am working of 3 tg comics that will be launched via free websites.  They'll be free to read, so check em out when I post them please.  Working on some other projects that I am keeping under wraps that will benefit the tg community as a whole.  Will elaborate more when get closer to finishing them up.  I am dating a beautiful girl, who is also a pre-op M2F.  She is my rock and I love her so much.  I'm in my second freshman year of college, lol screwed up my first year, and am a psych major.  I want to work with young people who are questioning or ready to transition.  If you have any questions shoot me a msg, and thank you for reading.  Looking forward to getting to know all of you. 

Hugs and kisses,
Tearza
