I just found this site whilst googling for packer info! Looks like a good place, so here i am.  Im a 44yr old gender queer. I am female who considered self butch, until i realised i didnt fit with the butch label and so i came to the conclusion i must be genderqueer. I would love to have chest surgery and hysto but thats as far as i would go, if i could. I wear a packer, use a strap on. In my head i have always been male, certainly not female.
I am *married* civil partnership. We have two adorable cats!
I love football (Aston Villa), collecting action figures, watching crime shows, especially Criminal Minds.

I am getting there! 

I used to go to Shrewsbury every month to pick up my monthly issue of Ranma 1/2. It's a manga about a boy who turns into a girl when splashed with cold water. Hot water reverses the effect. And in Birmingham, I would do some of my clothes shopping.  *sigh* happy times. ^_^

Yes Im glad i dont have a real one at times like that 

Yea.well now HRT is taking care of things for now. I wish transitioning was as easy as getting splashed with cold water. lol

Make it so, Number One . I can't wait for my matter to be converted into antimatter...

Wouldn't that be nice. I'm not actually transitioning FTM but if it were easier, i probably would!

Hi Nemo, wheres the best place for general FTM topics? Im still getting used to the place!!

Funny you should ask, I've just come from there

https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,27.0.html <-- that's the general FTM board (also has a sub-forum all about things such as binders, packers etc.), but you can also check out the board above it, or the transgender board for more general stuff.

Enjoy your stay - I know I have

Oh yes, nearly forgot: if you also ID as genderqueer (like me!), there's also this place: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,57.0.html - known as the Unicorn Forest for some reason, but its technical term is the androgyne forum.

Thanks Nemo!
