Well.... I never thought I'd see myself on a Forum setting again. I'm not much of one for this kind of setting.
My name is Alex, and I consider myself to be transgender. It took me a few months of struggling to come to this conclusion after putting together all of the pieces, and believe me, it wasn't the easiest thing in the world for me to do. I've always been horrible with change; when my best friend, Jonathan left my school system and I lost contact with him, when I broke up with my ex girlfriend, when I went away to school... All of it is difficult to me. The transitioning from thinking of myself as Catherine has started to fade, minus the fact that I'm stuck with my parents calling me by my horrible birth name and all my documentation still reciting the name I want to forget. My school knows me now as Alex, and almost all of my friends call me by that name, and I'm proud to say I'm feeling better about myself.
Anyway. My name is Alexander Miles, I am 20, soon to be 21, pre-HRT, pre-Everything... And I'd like to be able to make your acquaintance!
