Soo, hi everyone!

I'm Brandon, I'm an 18 year old from Michigan. Though I may have been born male, I have slowly come to identify myself as female since I was 10. I know very little about the transgender community due to my lack of research into it. I have only come out to 5 people I know because they were the 5 I could trust to help me out. All 5 accepted me and have been a huge help for the short time I've been out.

This is me.


I already have a name chosen - Vulynn

Little more about me.
- I'm a really open and accepting person
- I am a computer, anime, and JDM car person.
- I love animals, mostly dogs and wolves.

Little about my future
I plan on moving into an apartment near my college with my girlfriend. I want to start my transition by the end of next year, and my girlfriend is completely okay with it . I'm going to be going to college for robotics and game design.

My biggest concern for anything to do with my transition is my family. My mom (dad died) would most likely approve of me doing it after a while. The concern is towards my relatives, they are really religious people.

About my dad. He was a great man, and an amazing father. Back in 2009, he started having problems digesting food. A few months later, he is diagnosed with one of the worst cancers possible. He had pancreatic cancer, it was the severe, no-chance cancer. He died quietly on October 29th, at 9:15 pm. That was the loneliest Halloween ever, no goofy clown (his favorite costume) following us to help carry bags....

I'm really nervous and a bit scared, I only came out last week. I had been holding it in for fear of being hated or teased.

I forgot to say, I'm a really insecure person

Thanks guys.
Thanks for the links Izzy, I was actually wondering when I'd get to add an avatar to my profile. I'm already starting to really like it here on the forums. I feel welcomed and accepted, and it's making me really happy.

I may still be 18, but I turn 19 by the end of January.

Mrs izzy, thank you for using Vulynn as my name. It means a lot to me.

I wish I could express how happy I am to have found such a great place to be myself and not worry about judgment.

Hi Vulynn,

Nice to meet you. Just wanted to say hi to a fellow Michigander.

Hello to you too, Living.

i'm sorry to hear about your loss.

I wish you the best in your transition.
It will be the hardest thing you ever do and possibly the most rewarding

I've had a feeling that it would be hard on me. Knowing that I have so many people that accept and welcome me, both on here and in my life, has given me a lot of optimism for the transition. I know that I can do it. :3

So, Vulynn, what anime do you like? I'm personnaly a big fan of Log Horizon, I liked the first part of SAO, in the actual SAO game, everything else has come short of the high bar set by the original in my opinion. There's also this anime I loved called "Tonari no Seki-kun" or something like that, but it's the funniest anime I've come across after My Little Monster. Your turn! -Natalie

I forgot about one thing, right after SAO finished the season I decided to do an all day Crunchyroll anime binge. Things is though.... our Internet is on an allowance system, we get 10Gs of high speed Internet access, it goes down to an almost unusable speed once that goes out. We were out, and videos wouldn't load, so I decided to buy 500Mb tokens. By the end of it I had purchased  $125 dollars worth of tokens.... I was that into it.

Got really emotional watching that, and when Kirito finally took that guy out and met Asuna, I lost it. Cried myself to sleep that night in a mix of emotions.

And in SAO 2, when they buy back their house.... ohmagawd.

Welcome to Susan's, Vulynn!! I'm a wee bit older than you are and five months into my transition. It will likely be the hardest thing you ever do in your life but the best thing as well. Just remember that you aren't alone when you're climbing up this mountain.
