Hello strangers, whom I hope to meet and get to know quite well

So, I've never really been great at introductions, but I hope I can do this a'ight, I suppose.
Humm, I was born female, but I identify as male, though a bit hesitant to really do anything at the moment. I'm pre-everything and still live at home, with my mom and step-father. I've only recently really been able to accept myself, simply because I've been mulling over what others would think if I told them. Honestly, before about December of last year, or the January/February-ish time of this year, I had never even considered something like trans*-ness (that is so not a word, but I make words up so often it's not even funny) before, because of how I grew up.. And honestly it wasn't even because of my parents that I'd think anything bad about it or anything (they're really open minded, due to their own.. Identities, I suppose?) but rather, the town that I grew up in, which when I think back at it, most of my classmate were pretty.. ehm.. close-minded all the way back to 2nd grade.. So, because of this, I never even thought that I could be different, like, at all. It took me having a couple of friends who were really open minded and a lesbian and a few gay guy friends, before I even came to realize I was bisexual. Anyways, I'm getting off point a lot.. (I really hope my ramblings aren't too hard to get used to.. My thoughts tend to wander) So, I've been lurking around these forums for a while, and haven't really signed up until today.. I'm pretty much just looking for support, as I'm a bit afraid to look for it in the real world, and also I'm hoping to move on with my own life, and progress.
So, anyways, again, hello everyone!
