Hi everyone! My name is Lex, ftm. I'm a long-time lurker who's coming out of hiding. I've learned a lot from visiting this site and it's carried me far. My 25th birthday is soon, and in my time I've accomplished attending therapy for 2 years (voluntarily) with a really great, understanding therapist, facing my issues with medicine and completing the big medical exam, and being on T for 3 months now. I've never felt better about myself or my body. I have no regrets whatsoever, and that is an awesome mindset for me to be going into my quarter-life birthday with. I look forward to the next 3/4ths with so much energy. I did it! :D
I have three reasons in particular for coming out of hiding now. The first is that I've had serious thoughts recently about putting myself out there. I'm pretty stoic, I tend to be quiet when I need help, preferring to bully through it on my own. It's really not good for me. Second is that I have come up against some things I couldn't figure out, so I'd like to ask some questions! Third is that I've always appreciated reading the discussions here and I want to show that.
So... hello! I look forward to chatting with everyone.
