Hey all,
Chris here. I'm from KS, USA... Just coming to terms with being transmasculine, maybe FTM? Still trying to figure it all out... I present as male, prefer male pronouns, bind my chest, have a masculine haircut, etc. Basically I came out as a lesbian a few years back (I'm 21) and although I noticed it wasn't exactly how I felt, I knew it was a lot closer than simply heterosexual. I've been doing a lot of research and I'm definitely transmasculine, still looking into FTM.
I have a lot of friends who are transgendered and transsexual so it's not an entirely new subject to me, but definitely for me. I hadn't really ever considered it a possibility for myself. My parents are incredibly anti-LGBTQI anything, so even coming out as a lesbian was a huge challenge. I lost a lot of friends, transferred colleges, and my parents barely tolerate me. On the bright side, I do have an incredible fiancee. She doesn't care if I'm female, male, or somewhere in between. She just loves me as much as a human can love another human.
So, I'm pretty lucky.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm here to learn and seek and understand so I'm definitely up for talking to anyone/everyone. Especially anyone in the Midwest region, hit me up!
Love and peace to you all.
