Well, hello everyone! The names Sydney. Maybe if you are nice I will tell you my real name later. ouo~

As for me, I am just your not-so-average, young FtM. After a long battle of trying to be someone I wasn't, I have finally found myself. I do have to say, I have been much happier since! :'D I am just beginning to get into the whole thing, you know, telling the parents and the siblings and what not. Experimenting with binders and packers, got my hair cut short....I actually just got my first packer in the mail yesterday from Tranzwear.com! Boy I tell ya, self-confidence through the roof. Oh if only it were real~ *sigh* Pre-op, no hormones, nothing like that as of yet...But yeah. Since I've come out, I decided that perhaps joining a community like this would help out some, and this seems like a really nice place to start. ouo~

Anyways, you know, I game, I draw, I am working on a webcomic with my girlfriend, like superhero movies and sci-fi flicks. General nerd~

Ehh....that's it for now I guess. Hope to talk to you all soon!

Hello and welcome from the depths of Tasmania, Australia's answer to your neck of the woods, as far as certain South Australians are concerned. Hi Cindy. 

It sounds like you are well on the way young man, with all the interests of any guy your age. If your lady sees you as her bloke, then the rest of the place can take a running jump!

Karen.

Awww~ Thanks for all the warm welcomes guys! <3

@ Lightiningeyes  Oh really? That's awesome! I hope all goes well for him and thanks personally for sticking by his side. It really isn't an easy process, and having someone who understands and is supportive is always a plus! ouo

@ Stealthy  Thank you! And it is~ I feel so much more comfortable since I come to terms with who I really am and have at least someone to support me. ouo~ And thank you again.

Hi Sydney ,

Another big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.

There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in and start talking.

So pleased everything is working out for you. There is a lot to be said about the freedom and liberation that comes with acknowledging the real you. And that's just the start of it.

Oh! By he way, I'm real nice. So you can tell me your real name.   

Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.

Lotsa huggs
Catherine

@ Catherine  Thank you so much~! <3
