Default Yet another newbie saying hello

Hello! I heard of this website because of a link someone posted on the "It Gets Better" videos on YouTube. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I'm happy to have found this website.
My name is Eli, and I'm a ftm transgender. I'm president of the GSA at my school, which is in nowheresville, USA. I'm out to some friends at school, but not everyone- I have some concerns about safety if I come out fully in school. My parents still use my birth name/pronouns as does everyone else, which drives me nuts ><. But hey, what can you do...
I'm crazy into costume design for theatre, so I do a lot of that. I like reading; I'm active in original fiction websites as a beta. Coldplay is my guilty pleasure music (wait, maybe that's Glee)...
That's about it. I look forward to meeting everyone ^_^
