I'm Calvin. Or, that's my chosen name for now, anyway. I'm in my mid-twenties and over the past year finally realized that I was way more comfortable in men's clothes than womens, and then maybe a month or so ago it was t-shirt weather for a day, and my breasts were showing more than usual and gender dysphoria hit hard.
So I'm binding now, and packing a lot of the time too, but I'm not quite sure what to think of it all yet. I'm not sure if I'm FTM or more androgynous/genderqueer. But I've been hitting up the internet hard for information (and equipment!) lately, and have been spending a lot of time reading this forum in the past few days. So I figured I should get an account and introduce myself!

Hi Calvin, welcome to Susans! You came to the right place for info, and you can make a lot of friends here, too. See you around, hugs, Tracey
Thank you! :D This site has already been informative, and I look forward to talking to people here.
Hi and welcome.Wow, i wish i had your problem(with breasts showing).
Hi! And, yeah, wish I could give 'em to you!
Hey Calvin!
Welcome! I'm new here too and I gotta say, what you're saying sounds a lot like me. ;)
I'm probably going to invest in a few more binders. Looking at myself in the mirror without one.. it's like looking at a stranger.
Hope to see you around the forums!

Hi Calvin
Welcome to the forum
I'm pretty sure you will find out in time what you really are.
In the mean time you've got friends to support you.
hugs
Annette
Annette - thank you so much! I really hope so.
Bly - I'm thinking of getting another binder too--at least before summer hits. I usually feel like I'm looking at a stranger in the mirror these days anyway, binder or not, but I feel so much better about myself with a flatter chest. Hope to see you around, too!
