It took me 3 minutes to figure out how exactly my title would go about saying "Hello". A simple word, understood in every language but my mind wants to over work it. Make it into a big deal.
Since this is an introduction area, to tell stories, or what not. I figure it would be a great place to start my venture into the wild world of... well my peers. I don't know how I feel about identifying myself particularly as a "transsexual". That is what I am by name, a FtM to be exact, but my mind and heart have always told me otherwise. It's like a real life story of "Helppppp! I'm stuck in my Teacher's body", except... in a girl's body. To me, I am a male. To me, I'm just trapped in the wrong persons body (ironically, I have two older brother's and no sisters) and doing whatever I can to make it my own. So, for me, I am a male. I have been, and always will be. Label me how you like otherwise.
I am 2 years on T, having been off T for six months or so due to my doctor moving practices more then once. I have been out since Sophomore year of high school, alas everyone thought I was a lesbian other wise. My family is generally rather accepting. I am Pre-op, and about to leave, finally now that some transitioning is done, for college, and eventually, I hope to go to medical school and make a difference for the transsexual people in the world as well as educate more doctors on the matter.
That's me, in a nutshell. Wow, I wrote a lot... Sorry.
Hi Ratchet, welcome to Susans! You call that a long introduction? Ha, stick around, you'll see some real long ones. No need to identify as anything here, no one will question you. Just be who you are and have fun with us. Hugs, Tracey

Thanks for the welcomes. I've thoroughly gone through the forum details. I'm glad to be a part of the family.
Hey, Ratchet!
I believe I found you in the 'Do I Pass' thread before coming here! xD Welcome to the board, bro. :)
I've seen/written bigger WALLSofTEXT than you had, so this is a nice neat package that sums up your position nicely for an intro. xD :D
Everyone here is super welcoming and helpful, so I, on behalf of many, hope you enjoy your time here and that you will be as thankful to have discovered Susan's as I am. :)
