I suppose it's about time...no?  I know the rules. Read them. Follow them (to the best of my ability).

Lets see...I'm 26, almost 27 in oct. New birthday is 1/30~ (first pill day). Didn't do much in the way of trying to be more feminine in the way I look while I was in the US, too shy/self conscious.

Adopted to the US at 7 months old, arrived on mothers day '88. Met korean family in 2007. They now know about me because my bio aunt has a big mouth (since about 1 month ago). Oldest brother seems ok with it, 2nd oldest...not sure, but their wives have no problems. Twin brother was like, "w/e, I'm still not the youngest!" ... mom/dad don't like the idea of it. They're old country people, understandable.

Parent's in the US are fine with it, mom is tooo supportive, dad is supportive while being concerned (dad has a gay daughter, so I knew he's be ok with it). But thanks to mom, everybody in the rest of the family knows, as well as her friends who I don't know. I complained about that earlier. Eh..less worry for me I guess. I hate the telling people part.


Currently live in Korea, came here in May '12 working for an LED company near Seoul. (I love cars). Don't feel like I can tell them (ex coworker who knows them better than me told me not to) and I have no issue with that. They're pissing me off so I kind of feel like I want to quit, anyway. Not because of who I am, but because of the aspects of the work/business. Started the magic pills jan '13. New country, new job, new life :D


I wonder if I'm one of the very few who try to change while in another country while not being a citizen? They should make a movie about me if everything works out. My mom wants me to come back to the US, though, at least to help with paying medical bills. Get a job with an employer that has insurance that pays for trans related care or a company that will do it. Korea's insurance doesn't cover anything...



I'm currently saddened by my voice, since it's 100% not passable at all (with a small visible apple and somewhat squareish face), but when people look at me, usually they "confuse" me for a girl (no makeup). I still see boy, but we're all harder on ourselves anyway. So if they see girl, I'm happy. High pony tail, skinny's, regular T (mens, women's are too tight around the armpit area for me..), converse. :) ~162?cm / ~5'2" , 112lbs/52kg << fluctuates. When I came to Korea I was 108 and had been all through college. I want to get back down to that weight, but I can live with 115. Seems safer.

Thats about me. Except for my name :P


edit: Oh, that was long.. SOrry.   Also, if you're curious about anything, you can ask me whatever you want, I don't mind. Not sensitive. PM me your Q's and I'll get back to you. Just don't ask if I'm from North or South. If you're unsure/wondering, read and catch up on your history.

Not to worry smile_jma!

Since you have been here for a while you likely know your way around.  But for completeness ...

Please be sure to review:


I am the parent of twins (boy/girl)  were you surprised to find you had one?

Well, I learned of him when I was in kindergarten, so I can't tell you how I felt, but I know I thought it was cool. It was my dream to find him and live with him. Only half of that came true. With the language/culture diffs, it's actually quite difficult to do. Not to mention we each have our own lives now.
