Hey you folks!

I just wanted to introduce me before starting to post somewhere else on the forum.
My name is Matthew Ryan and I am a 18 year old (young ^^) FMT transgender from Germany. For my transition, I am pre-hormones and ops, but the name changing is on its way. I am going to get 'T' in about two or at maximum three months, depends on my psychologist.
My ambitions for the future are (apart from becoming physically who I am) to graduate from school and then study medicine. After becoming a doctor I want to move to the US. Some time left up to then, but I am enthusiastic about it. This is what I want and this is what I am going to do, it is like we all go our ways, don't we? No matter what stays in our way...
I am interested in many different things I don't wanna list now...The most important hobbies in my life are music and different kinds of sport. I go jogging every day and I could not imagine a life without music; both hobbies saved my life some time ago.

Why am I here? I just want to get to know some people who are like me, who go through similar things and who maybe can help me out when I am down or have some questions. Of course I'll try my best to do the same

So, I guess this is enough for a first introduction. You will find out more about me, my outing and my life in general later. I am looking forward to getting to know you

Take care,
Matt

Hey Matt, wilkommen. My family's from Germany, but I live in the U.S., and the best thing I can say is... STAY THERE! The U.S. is not in the best shape. Anyway, welcome to the site; there are plenty of ftms here and folks of other persuasions who I'm sure would be glad to hear from you. Look forward to reading your posts in future.

Hi Matt,   

Welcome to our little family. Over 1800 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion. Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers.  Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now.  And it is always nice to have another brother.

Hi Matt

Thank you all for this very warm welcome!

to sebastian: Yeah, I know the US isn't in its best shape, but I guess that fact only drives me to move there sooner, to help fixing all the problems...I guess I am and will always be a fighter, no matter what for.

to Nero: BlueAndYellow is actually a song by "the Used". I needed a good nickname and since I did not have any time to think about that I chose the song I was listening to a lot at the time when I first chose this name and I kept it.
