I'm a 25 year old transguy. I transitioned (socially) 4 years ago. I'm separated with a naturally conceived & delivered 11 month old baby and one on the way. Neither was planned, but contraception doesn't always work. My marriage is ending because I cannot tolerate my in-laws (minus my mother in law who was wonderful but passed away a little over a year ago) and how they treat me. (I'm often called a freak, they're racist and I'm half-black, they refused to come to our wedding because they're "embarrassed" of me, my partner's stepmother actually said that she wished my [first] baby would result in a miscarriage, and they find new ways to insult me whenever they talk to me.) My partner wants to keep them around because he loves my father in law... Okay, I can understand that (SORT of - I would have left my parents behind a long time ago if they acted that way), but I refuse to be a part of it.
I went to college for business law and accounting and also started working on a degree in culinary arts, which I would like to someday get back to. (It was a lot of fun!) I'll probably buy a restaurant one day. I have social anxiety, but you probably wouldn't know it unless you talked to me on a really, really, really bad day.
So I've got a lot of baggage, but I'm a VERY kind and understanding guy... I just haven't had the opportunity to talk to anyone who understands me, ever. I don't have any transgender/bi-gender/intersex/neither/other friends, so I've been on my own throughout all this. I hope this forum changes that. Thanks, all of you, just for being here and making me feel not so alone for once.
