Hi...I have no idea how to introduce myself XP. I was going to do this in red, but I'm pretty sure I'll bind half of you if I do since I tend to ramble and make large posts in other forums. I seriously doubt I'll break that tradition here. Well hello, you may call me Taco :'D. I am a FtM transexual. After almost 21 years of life, I'm pretty sure of this :'P. Anyway, I am 20-years-old, just moved to Los Angeles, and live with my mother and brother (and apparently an aunt for the time being).
I am also severely in the closet XP. Only my boyfriend, a couple of my friends, and a few of his friends know. Oh, and an entire website full of people in long distance relationships :'P. I'll address that really quick. I am gay and have a boyfriend of 2 1/2 years who I met online. I moved in November from Las Vegas, NV and now live across the street from him. If you have any questions about my relationship, I'll gladly answer them because I love talking about myself ;'D.
Back to me in the closet. I am from a deeply religious, deeply conservative, Mexican family. Not just any conservatives, more like "You will burn in hell for not lynching that man wearing pink and what woman wearing pants!" conservative XP. They're also quite homophobic and cannot understand the concept of transexuality :'D! When my uncle came out as gay, these people spread the most horrible rumors (worst being he was raped as a kid and liked it). That's not including the number of issues that makes the clan look like a season of Jerry Springer xD. Pretty sure these notjobs will stab me if I come out. I got nothing against religion or Conservatives, I'm a Christian Conservative myself, but what the hell!? D: Then there's my immediate family. No father to speak of, but I have my mother and brother still. They are a lot more religiously relaxed and normal. My mom is still not cool with me dressing as a guy. She stopped bugging me about it though after getting together with my current boyfriend (because she loves him and trusts him :'D). I still have no intention of telling them anytime soon. I'd rather move out and come out then to keep them safe from the rest of the clan.
The first person I came out to was my boyfriend. After being together almost two years, I thought it was only fair to tell him about these strange feelings I've been having. I expected to get dumped by my "straight" boyfriend. Instead he said "God, you really are the man in this relationship..." I loled and loved him more. A month later he told me he was bisexual. I'm the only idiot who didn't see that coming even though I had the best indication of it XP. He's just happy I completely embraced the next thing he told me, which was that he's a cross dresser. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't :'P. Anyway, this guy has done way too much for me. When we first met, I was a drug addicted brat with no motivation to live, much less goals. Today I'm 17 months sober and am getting back into college. I want to major in Math or Premed :'D! He's also encouraged me to slowly tell people so I stop being so uncomfortable :'P.
Great, I rambled again! D:< Gotta wrap this up. My handicap: I got in a car crash a year and a half ago roughly. Crippled my spine a bit and I'm on a walking cane. It's not too bad, but I do intend to take care of that way before I begin transitioning. I'd still rather walk normally. Just need some health insurance. I have really long hair by choice. My hair is, black, curly, and reaches my waist. Cannot get girlier than that XP. I really don't wanna cut my hair though, I love it! D: Unless I can make this look manly, I gotta cut it at some point ;_;... Ok, I'm bored and done. I'll be lurking around and posting randomly.
Heya Taco. I love rambling and greatly appreciate the art. If it weren't for rambling I might not know half of the things I think I do. Ramble on! Thanks for sharing your story and welcome. ;D
