Hello!

I'm Pundit (I'd rather not give out my real name just yet). I'm a cisgendered male from New Jersey. I'm a senior in high school. And no, I don't believe I'm transgendered in any way.

You might be asking why I'd join a forum for transgendered people, then. Honestly, I just really like transgendered people. I know this is a stereotype, albeit a positive one, but transgendered people are some of the nicest people I've ever met. And I really like how they're usually so tolerant of others (since they know what it's like to be discriminated against). So, yeah, I randomly came across these forums, and I got the idea to join, since I'm active on a good many forums. I hope you all would welcome a cisgendered person? Maybe there are some others; I don't know, I haven't really looked around yet.

So, yeah, hi!

Welcome aboard 

yo and 'course you're welcome!

Hello and welcome Pundit =]

That is, until you really get to know us.

Welcome to the forum man

Always happy to hear about an accepting friendly cisgender person.

Welcome! Good to see there are more of your accepting kind out there! Me being a cis...gender was it? lol not too used to these formalities yet. anyway, welcome to the party!

Welcome Pundit!

Thanks for the friendly welcomes, everyone. You all pass so well! I'm surprised at how many FTMs there are. I thought MTF was more common? Maybe I need to update my statistical knowledge on that. Hehe.

Welcome aboard

There is a whole thread devoted to the subject of more mtf than ftm's .... there's a big discussion as to why that is ... you should check it out

Hey, welcome to Susans 

Well to be honest many of us maintain that once we are, as I am, decades past completion of our treatment we become cisgendered people with a transgendered past. That, rightly or wrongly is how I have seen myself for the last 26 or so years anyway. Many of us just come here to join in and offer the occasional bit of advice.

But I am being picky and forgetting my manners. Welcome to the group! I hope you will have a lot of fun and enjoy our company. Janet has already done the official moderator bit so I'll just confine myslef to saying I look forward to reading your contributions.

Now lets wait and see how many people try to chat you up... LOL

how extremely exciting to have Cis friends hop aboard!
Welcome to Susan's!!

Welcome and enjoy yourself

JoC I must say, I am always struck by how beautiful and natural you look! =]

April!!
Thank you Lovely
I've been feeling pretty good lately
I'm glad its showing

Thanks again for the welcomes, everyone. Gosh, my intro thread is so popular! You all flatter me so much!

rejennyrated: I understand what you're saying. There has to be some sort of word to describe whether someone was born the right gender or not, though. And I guess cisgender is the term for that. The words male and female are too vague, since one can be born male but feel female, and vice versa. The way I see it is that we're all human beings; some of us are unfortunate enough to have been born the wrong gender, and are even more unfortunate to be discriminated against and often treated as a joke in our society. I sympathize with you all; I have some "kinks" of my own that aren't accepted by society.

And haha, many people are going to chat me up? I guess I should've thought that, but part of me also wondered if transsexual people prefer the company of other transsexual people. I guess I was wrong for thinking like that.

JoC: I gotta say, you look so much like a woman. Seriously, if I saw you on the street passing by, the thought that you may have been born physically male wouldn't have crossed my mind at all. A lot of people seem to pass well on this site, though. The vast majority, in my opinion.
