Hey- 

I'm currently lacking a name (maybe y'all have suggestions), but I'll tell you what I can about myself-

- pre- medical shenanigans FTM, age 19
- living in the Deep South of the USA
- Currently deciding between fully transitioning and fully living my somewhat obscure religion as mandated by God, I'm sure some of y'all have been here.


This looks like a really great community, and I figured I'd stop lurking and introduce myself.

Don't have any suggestions for names, but I can say that I am transitioning, but not giving up God. Until recently, I lived in a very conservative suburb in Houston and my pastor and several church members, while not exactly jumping for joy, continued to love and support me. Of course, that was a Methodist church and I don't know what group you are a part of so YMMV.

Welcome to the site man 

Nice to meet ya. I'd try to help but I've been through 4 different names in the past year before settling on this one. Man I'm not a very religious guy. I believe in God and pray to who is in my mind a being above gender but I don't seem to recall the bible saying anything about what God mandates when it comes to trans people. In fact there is a church down the street from me that has trans/gay/and more people who still believe in God. In  my opinion the God I love loves my soul and does not care about me being trans. In fact I think I was made this way to learn something. I'm proud of the person I've become through my struggles.

Sorry I feel very strongly about all of this. See ya around the forum

Hummmmmmm.  Deep South?  How about Bubba, Roy Bob, Billy Ray?  No.  Maybe Andrew?  Just kidding about the southern names.
Hugs and Love,
Janet

I am nameless at the moment too ... and I am 39 ... so you at least have a jump on me!
