Hello everyone. Before I say anything else, I want to thank this forum for existing in this day and age where different online forums and discussion boards seem to be disappearing one after the other. But yeah, right, my name is 9, and I'm a young ftm individual who's currently halfway there with getting a diagnosis, after which I'll hopefully be allowed to start hrt and proceed with surgical treatments as well. I come from a country where this stuff is a little confusing and everything takes a long time. I'm out to my family and friends and everyone who matters to me, but don't like making a big deal out of my identity to strangers. Therefore I'm usually automatically in the closet with new people (unless I manage to pass as male). I guess that's all the relevant information at the moment. I hope I'll be able to make a contribution to this forum with my presence.
