I've been on and off of here since I was 17 (I'm 23 now, 24 in April) but I finally decided to make an account since I'm trying to get more active with myself as well as others and in the LGBT community in general. I'm FtM, pre-everything, but I want to go on T in the next 5ish years or so (hopefully lol). I'm kinda on the fence about surgeries because I've got fibro and I feel pain worse than most people but I've been thinking more and more about top surgery.

Anyway, I'm partially out partially not; my family has no idea, nor does my current bf's family. However, everywhere else, I am pretty much out. I don't know if I'm ever going to tell my parents 'cause I tried telling them once before and while they took it well, I got the whole 'it's just a phase' thing which kind of made me go back to being closeted. I spent a year when I was 17 presenting but then I kind of stopped because I got super self-conscious and ended up trying to put the trans* portion of my life on the backburner because it was just adding a load of depression that I couldn't deal with in a healthy manner into my life, at that point since I was already depressed. Not thinking about it worked, kind of. However, I dealt with everything that was going on and this past year is when I started presenting again, it's great I feel great :y But yeah, hmm. I also started coming out properly about a year ago! Things were... a little rocky at first, but I'll leave it at that. It's getting better, rn, and I have some great friends who support the crud out of me. Definitely not stealthing, though.

I'm currently in GA and I'm working two jobs - both of which I started from scratch (raising rabbits and taxidermy). I'm thinking about applying to be a police officer, but first I need to get more physically fit in a way that doesn't trigger my fibro. I know I'd be able to land the job if I wasn't so wibbly-wobbly in the physical strength department, so I just have to apply myself & stop being so lazy.

Other than that, I'm pansexual, polyamorous (closed relationship right now...), and tentative drag queen (unable to really work on this rn lol). My preferred pronouns are: he/him/his/etc or they/them/their/etc. :> I also self-manage anxiety so sometimes I might just never reply to things on the forums (so sorry if this happens! It's not youuu) because I get anxiety attacks over social interaction on occasion, but hey, a little interaction is better than nothin'.

So yeah, hi. 83

Why thankyou! Pleased to meet you too, I'll check those links out right now. :>

A big warm welcome to the family Scott! I am so glad you have joined us here. the good news is your social anxiety days are over because we are not a social place, we are family! You will find out this is true rather quickly. We all care and support you and want to see you succeed in your life and be healthy and happy. Feel free to rant, vent, learn, share good news (we like that a lot) and make some friends who will not dessert or judge you. Here is a BIG HUG ( ) to welcome you and make you feel right at home! I am a retired Paramedic/Firefighter and still a Reserve Deputy Sheriff so when you make it on the force feel free to talk shop anytime. When you get 15 posting here feel free to PM me anytime.

Woah, thank you! I'm glad to have finally joined too. This place seems quite friendly from everything I've seen of it - it's awesome and very very NON-toxic. :> I'm sure I'll eventually end up bringing my fair share of good news (as well as all those other things haha) so I do indeed hope to make some friends here. Here's a hug for you too! Also, that is so cool. I used to want to be an EMT and a firefighter when I was younger but it turned out the jobs would've been too physically stressful for me. I'll definitely drop you a line if I make it to the force! I'll probably have a lot of questions, but only if you don't mind 'em haha.

I am an open book! In 28 years I have seen a lot. I was even helicopter two at the Edmond Post Office shooting in April of 1986. That is where the term "going postal" was coined. Glad to give any advice you need to be successful!

WOAH. That is some history! I'll definitely come to you then - seems like you'd know pretty much everything about being on the force! I didn't even know that's where that term was coined. Thank you so much!

Hey there!

I definitely am, lol. Supernatural has been one of the best parts of my life for almost a year and a half now, I just love all the characters in it. 

From another Supernatural/Crowley fan, welcome Scott.

I still have a number of accounts out there when still pretending to be male, that I used Crowley as a username.  So I wholeheartedly approve!

Hooray! Vote for Crowley, am I right? Lol.

It's great to see someone who used to use Crowley as a username, too! Glad to know I'm not the only one here who's done that. x)

Always Vote Crowley.

Have you ever read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Patchett? It features a character of Crowley, which I swear the Supernatural team basically took and used for their Crowley. 

I was literally reading all the Crowley parts in Mark Sheppard's voice.

I haven't yet but I've been meaning to - several of my friends are trying to get me to read it but I haven't had the time yet

However, if Good Omens ever became a movie, I'd hope that Mark Sheppard would apply for the role because that would simply be AMAZING, lol.

Oh, so do I.

Hi Scott and welcome to Susan's.

Hi there! Thanks
