Hi! I'm Rebekah. (With a K-A-H, not a C-C-A!) I'm an 18-year-old MtF transsexual, and I decided today that I've lurked far too long.  Which basically means, I feel like I've gotten to know a lot of you all as you've posted your triumphs and travails, but of course none of you have gotten to know me!  And that wasn't any fun, so here I am.

My story is relatively typical and uninteresting, though I'm eternally grateful to my parents for the support they've given me, which has been entirely surprising and wonderful.  Today marks 6 months on hormones, and I just had FFS 17 days ago. I'm a senior in high school at a conservative, conservative private high school, so transition isn't really on the table at the moment, but the moment I graduate, I'll be plenty eager to go full-time right away, just in time for college.

I don't have too much more to say for now other than it's great to be here, and I hope I find my niche here.

Welcome to the site Rebekah 

Congrats on your 6 months and your FFS! That's pretty awesome considering your so young! I'm glad you've decided to stop lurking and join in with the posting. See ya around the forum.

Hi Rebekah! Lovely to have you here, we can be newbies together (woo newbie dance!)

Congratulations on everything so far, what fantastic timing! It's wonderful that your family are so supportive, too, it's a shame that supportive families seem to be such a rarity. Sorry, I'm rambling! All the very best of luck with your new life at college!

As Andrew said, we are glad that you decided to join us.

It is great that your parents are supportive!!! 

This is a great site. I came here in October. There are really wonderful people here to share with.
We look forward to your posts. 

Big Hugs.
