Title: Newbie
Post by: Shimei Valentine on March 20, 2011, 01:59:57 AM
I don't normally sign up and use forums much because I'm kind of a shy guy when talking to people over the internet (go figure the internet would be where I would have trouble communicating) and I'm not sure if an introduction is a legitimate topic to post, but I figured I would give it a try. I'm not far along at all in transitioning- I only recently started seeing a therapist, I came out to my friends, I still use ace bandage (I don't have a nice binder yet), I am not yet on any T, I work out, and I don't pass at all in my opinion.

I'm 19, I live in Indiana, and I'm bisexual. My name is Vincent, but you can call me Vinny or whatever. I like to write, draw, listen to music, read, play video games and all of the usual stuff. Haha I don't know what else to put so if you have any questions for me, feel free to shoot away! I don't mind answering basically anything. I look forward to hopefully being a useful member on here.  8)

Hey Vincent!
I'm Spencer, and I'm new here too. Welcome! People here are lovely, and there's a plethora of information for you to digest.
And I think you pass rather well IMHO.  :D

Well thank you! Yes from what I've seen so far there are many people at all different points in transition and passing, so there is a lot of experience to be shared. I'm glad I found this site. I was actually looking for awhile for a place to kind of settle into for advice so this place is awesome.  :)

Hello Vincent.   
I'm also 19 and new to this site.  I'm not far along  in transitioning at all either.  I'm not even seeing a therapist. 

I think you pass pretty well too.  :)   especially in the first pic.  Maybe you are more critical of yourself than need be?

Hey welcome to the site. I think you pass pretty well for being pre-everything. Although if you're curious and looking for multiple opinions and passing tips you can add your photos to the "FTM Do I Pass?" thread.

Hi Vincent!  :) I'm relatively new here too but I find it a good place to read up on everything and have seen that a lot of people here share similar experiences and feelings as to what I'm going through, so I'm finding it a good place to be.

Welcome to the site Vincent  :icon_wave:

You pass really well in that first pic man. We're all our own worst critics when it comes to looks. You sound like a pretty cool guy so again welcome and see ya around the forum :)

This x infinity! Seriously, at least with me, all I can do is pick out flaws and ->-bleeped-<-. I think you pass pretty well too, and you make a very cute boy.
What kind of stuff do you write? If you're even wanting a critique (provided it isn't too long, I get distracted way too easily) I'm more than happy to check your stuff out. Fellow writers unite, whooo.

And obviously, welcome aboard! I've been on a few different trans forums and this one's definitely become my favorite.
