Hello, people of Susan's,
I use two names, the first being my user name, Time, the second being Silver. I don't really care which one you use, they both work and are nicknames I use constantly. I have been lurking on the forum for... a couple weeks now. I've only recently discovered my gender identity as a male, and have only told my closest friends about it. Due to my realization, I have been doing a lot research, but never actually communicating with someone who feels the same way I do. So, I came here to do just that. I figured on a forum like this everyone would be accepting, obviously. I already love how you guys call yourselves a family, by the way. And I wish to become a member of that family.
Now, I suppose I should tell a little about myself. I don't have a grand story like some of the others I've read thus far. Granted, I've read all the rules on this forum too... anyway, back to what I was saying. I don't have that complex of a story, aside from the fact in most recent times, say about a month ago, when I was talking to my girlfriend, I told her I didn't quite feel right about my birth-assigned gender. I have been for a long time, but I didn't quite know about transgenderness until about a year ago. She encouraged me to pursue becoming male, which given my situation, I cannot do psychically, yet.
So, that's the basics of my story. My situation doens't let me try to psychically look like the gender I am, but at least the people I care about most will support me in my journey.
That's it. Hopefully I didn't break any rules with what I've said here... I didn't want to give too many details, since the rules intimidate me a little and I'm a real stickler about following rules to the T (there... no pun indented there. I'm awful sorry).
....yeah. Thanks for reading, I hope to get to know you all. Well maybe not all... there IS a lot of you... you know what I mean. heh...
