Hey!
My name is Elliot, I'm 19 years old, I live in the USA and I'm FTM.
I've been out as trans for (exactly) 9 months and 9 days, although I am not out to my parents or any of my family.
Before coming out as trans I identified as gender fluid for about a year and a half and did come out to my mum as that. (that's not too exciting though, she's ignored it ever since I told her).
My boyfriend is also transgender (FTM) and we've been together for (exactly) 6 months and 19 days.
I'm here mostly because I need a lot of help figuring things out as I have not started my transition at all. I've made pretty much 0 progress since buying my first binder over a year ago (that is the wrong size) and I still wear it today.
I'm hoping to also connect with other trans guys and help to feel more accepted.
That's pretty much all I can think of!
Have a beautiful day guys!

Hi Elliot,

Welcome to the site.

I'm not really one of the guys but am glad you are reaching out to explore. There is a lot of info here and all over the web. However, I think the most important research tool is finding yourself a gender therapist. They don't define you but help you to define yourself through safe exploration.

I also want to share some links with you. They are mostly welcome information and the rules that govern the site. If you have not had a chance to look through them, please take a moment to:

• Site Terms of Service and rules to live by
  
• Standard Terms and Definitions
  
• Post Ranks (including when you can upload an avatar)
  
• Reputation rules
  
• News posting & quoting guidelines
  
• Photo, avatars, and signature images policy
  

Once again, welcome to Susan's. Look around, ask questions and join in.

With warmth,

Joanna

Welcome! The FTM board and it's various subforums has a lot of info you might find helpful.

Hello, when i first came out i also actually came out as genderfluid with a (Masculine side) also. and i lived with this for a couple months before realizing it didn't fit me and something was still wrong. So welcome to susans place and feel free to chat or ask questions. I would suggest getting the correct binder, binder safety is important i tell this to everyone i meet because i bruised my ribs once. But besides that yea welcome.

Welcome to Susan's, Eliot.

I'm also USA, but far from 19.

You are in the right place to try and figure things out.

Hi Elliot
