Hi,
I'm Kevin. I'm a 20 year old FtM and I live in NSW, Australia. I follow some other online trans communities (mostly Livejournal), but I'm a lurker everywhere. I've been reading this forum for a couple of days and you all seem pretty cool, so I thought I'd make an effort to participate for once.
Transition-wise, I'm pre-T pre-op but I've been out as trans and "presenting male" since I was 15. I'm in the middle of a legal name change (application already submitted, waiting for new birth certificate). I was seeing my psychiatrist last year who wanted me to officially live as male for a while aka get a job, before he'd prescribe me testosterone. I've avoided jobs (not to mention any social life) because of suffering from social anxiety disorder, but I'm recovering now and looking for a job / hoping to be able to start testosterone soon. Starting to get very impatient about that.
I suppose I'll share some general getting-to-know-you info too.
I'm a bit of a science-nerd... and general-nerd, really. I'm particularly into astronomy. Although I go through every interest under the sun and have a thirst for knowledge about everything. I have a 2-yr old cat called Lunar. I'm into sci-fi, and if you couldn't tell from my username I'm also a Trekkie.
That's about it. Hopefully I won't become another lurker.
