Hi to all. Well I am obviously new here, so here's a little bit about me. My name is Joe, I am a 26 year old Transman (FTM). I've been on Testosterone for 9 months now, I am currently pre-op tho, money always seems to be the downfall lol. But I hope to have my surgery sometime around next January. I have been with my beautiful fiance for going on 8 years and we have a daughter who will be turning 8 in June. I've been fairly lucky as far as family/friend support goes, at least the people who matter to me anyway. It hasn't always been that way tho, I wanted to transition when I was 22 but let the feelings/threats of others hold me back for a long time. There's a lot more to my story but I'm trying to make this a easy read lol. Any questions feel free to ask, I'm not shy. I'm looking forward to meeting new people that understand the kind of things that I'm feeling, and maybe be able to help someone else a long the way. Thanks for reading!



Joe a.k.a "Thatman"

Hi Joe,

Thanks to all of you for the replies. Now I have the Batman tune stuck in my head lol, didn't even think about it till ya'll said it. Feels good to know that the T is working, my fiance tells me all the time but the dysphoria still makes me question myself lol. Looking forward to getting to know ya'll better. Yeah Hilliard is a real small town right up here by Georgia, but I am a country boy so it suites me lol.
