I will find out this week if I am moving to Nashville area. If anybody is living in that area and could drop me a PM, I would love to know more about the area and the community there.  I am very hesitant to move out of my comfort zone here, but I know I gotta go.  Have not had by 1 true friend around here, so would be great to find some other FtMs since I just can't trust too many people ya know.

Anyway, hope this post is a postive one for me and gives me a good outlook on what may be in store.  I know my therepist will be shocked I actually wrote this 

Cheers!

I am about 45 minutes north in Clarksville. Whatcha want to know...

Thats cool man hope you have a stress free move to Nashville

Mostly hoping there is a community there where I can be myself and not have to worry about anything.  I am honestly tired of watching my back because of my career (military) and the fact I am currently in a place with nothing but military.  I want to feel like I have a real life and real friends I can talk to and maybe do things with.  Can't talk to anybody around here because last thing I want is the military involved in my private life.

I have searched the web and seen there are a few groups, but I don't live there and not sure if the groups are any good for me since FtM is such a minority it seems and well, I can't do anything but be a pre-everything for 3 more years (Retirement will be a blessing!!!) 

Are there good therepist out there?  My current one I have known for about 10 years now and I don't want to leave her because I hate the idea of starting over but I also know she would give me a recommendation for about anything and is waiting as patiently as I am for me to get out of the military because I think she is tired of seeing me in her office    But I don't want to loose my investment of trying to correct myself the day I say I am a civilain.

I need to work on my college courses while I am there too if I still plan to enter law school right away once I retire, so curious what 4-year universities would be best for me to look into.  I thought about Vanderbilt but they don't offer my major.  I think it was Tenn. State? that offered the best suited major for me, but I have never heard of that school.

If I am working in Nashville, are there any good cities or areas outside of the city or in the suburbs that have decent price real estate without being in a high crime area and offer some land for my dogs to run.

I have a ton of questions, just not sure who to ask.  I guess my biggest concerns are where I would live and if there is achance of me finally finding some cool people to call friends and accepting me for me ...


Thanks!

Check out the Tennessee Val's it's a Support group they can provide some support or if you want ftm specific they can give you pointers to where you need to go...

Thanks, I will check them out.  I was looking at their page and tried to click on the one for FtM, but it really had a hard time loading for some reason.  I will send them an email and see what they can tell me about the FtM population there and such.  Part of me is excited about going to TN if thats in my future, part of me is still scared to death.

Guess I will know tomorrow where I am going.  Going to be a nervious phone call... almost as bad as waiting for a call.
