Alex. 27 (28 in Dec). California 

I guess I am F2M but never identify myself that way (dislike labels). Always consider myself to be a straight male with a missing bottom and man boobs (average; not huge). I hate dresses since kindergarden and start having a thing for girls since six grade. And no, not once did I question myself whether something is wrong with me, I just know from the start that this is not my body and one day I would slap an RMA and ship it back to where ever it came from.

Of all the girls I've dated so far, all has been straight (well, I guess straight at first until they start a relationship with me?). And my current one I am with has last a little over 8 years. And she as well always consider me to be male and treats me like one.

Why am I here? I guess... to do research for my upcoming top surgery in September. I wish to have done it at an earlier age but finance prevent me from doing so. Now that my car is pay off (YAY, my very first, officially own car), I started saving and am now able to afford this dream.

I don't have any LGBTQ friends, all my friends are well... straight, I don't know where else to turn for advices but here. I did found another forum but not a lot of people post there so that was somewhat of a waste.

Never once in my life have I blog, write in my journal, and I guess twitter doesn't count so... forgive me if I don't make sense.

I, too, dislike labels, Alex.  Here, you can be whatever you want to be.

Welcome, from a fellow Californian.

Hi and welcome.  It sounds like you are pretty well adjusted, and have a good idea where you are going.  Post away.

Howdy,

Another welcome from the Aussie girls.

Pull up a chair and crack coldie and settle on in.

Hi Alex, it's nice to meet you! Always room for new friends here. See you around, hugs, Devlyn

Thank you everyone for the kind words - I am not use to being treat with kindness online. This place is very resourceful regarding pre/post op, law, help center, etc. But I do notice one thing, there seem to be more MTF then FTM; amazing.

Our FtM talk forum has a "clubhouse" atmosphere.  I think you'll like it.

Welcome to the site, Alex.

Hi welcome to Susans!

Welcome to Susan's mate totally agree that We shouldn't be labelled, it hurts when someone does not see you as you see yourself, come over to the ftm forum, you will get on with everyone over there and may help you with your journey to become the man you know you are

Hi Alex  ,

Welcome to our little family. Over 7083 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another brother.
