Hey guys my name is ryan i am ftm pre everything i'm a sophomore in high school i am from boston massachusetts i currently live in texas i don't have support from my family which is hard because it seems like the older i get the worse the dysphoria gets i think it would be nice to get to know ppl who know what it's like instead of feeling so alone

If you ever need any support, I'll be more than happy to help, Ryan.
Anyway, welcome to the site.

Thanks man appreciate it

It's a shame you live in Texas though.
When I first saw you saying you're from Boston MA in your post, I thought "Oh, that's less than three hours from me!" but then I was disappointed.
I live right on the border of Massachusetts, so it would have been cool to meet someone new who was fairly close.
No problem though - I'm sure there's also many others that will be posting shortly who are also more than happy to help you out.

Hi Ryan.

Ever plan on moving back to Boston? We have... sometimes we have lovely weather. My sister lives in Boston (I live in Western Mass... so possibly close to you Jason).

Is there a reason that you moved out to Texas?

I'm planning on visiting my family this summer there I may go back to boston if i decide to go to college there but i don't know yet i moved to texas when i was 8 years old my sister wanted to go to college in Texas i still get a little homesick sometimes since most of my family is there

Well, a really great place to go to college is in Western Mass, we have the 'Five'. And there are a lot of places here (like Northampton) that are friendly, and full of pride.

What were you thinking of studying in school?

Speaking of Northampton Pride, that's where I was last weekend.

Good times.


But yes, Northampton is wonderful artsy town.
I think that area also tends to be so friendly because it's located right by where the Five Colleges are too.

I haven't decided yet but since I really love music i might major in music or business law

hi Ryan and wellcome to Susans,
Hope you get what your to seach to get answer on your questions, and lot of support.
its always hard being young and new on the things But hopefully it will help.

I was at Northampton Pride too, Jason!

It'd be really cool to major in music. Do you play any instruments? Or do you just really love it? Would you want to produce it? Or become a teacher?

I want to produce music i'm teaching myself how to play the piano i wanna learn how to sing but unfortunately i can't carry a tune

Oh cool, maybe you saw me.

There were a lot of people there though, so maybe not.

Hey welcome to Susans Ryan!  I know how it feels to have no support from family so you are definately not alone.

Hi Ryan glad your here I remember being in high school confused about things i wish i had found a site like this back then and hopefully you find some people who support you, I know that can make a huge difference

Yo Boston peeps should meet up...just sayin
