Hi! I am a 26 years old transguy. I am pre-T and pre-op but I am working on that. I have been lurking for a week and I thought it could be nice to talk to other transpeople.

My life has been a mess until now. I guess this trans issue was a big part of it. I tried to hide it and forget about it and I finally got mentally ill and alcoholic. I never felt like myself. I felt like there was nothing inside me. Until last spring I finally decided that I will transition and stop pretending and hiding and actually live. I started to get better. I went to see the doctor about this trans issue and after waiting almost 6 months I finally got an appointment to another city where they diagnose transpeople and know about surgeries and such.

I couldn't imagine how big impact this would have on my life. I have stopped drinking. It has been impossible before. I am actually happy for the first time in my life. I am going to start studying again. I want to do stuff. Basically everything has changed. I never wanted to do anything before. Nothing mattered. Everything got even better after I started coming out. My family and friends have accepted me and the relief was unbeliavable after I was finally out.

I am pretty sure that year 2015 will be awesome!

Welcome Pogotractor to Susan's family,

Many topics to read and post to be written

Hey Pogotractor! Great name!
Welcome to Susan's, lots of trans guys here to swap stories and advice with!

Thanks. 

It was a little hard to try to pick a name. Then I started thinking about things I like and first things that came to my mind were pogo sticks and tractors.

Hi Pogotractor, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm from Boston. I'm an alcoholic too, I quit in 1986. I wish you continued success in the new year and beyond.  See you around the site!

Hugs, Devlyn
