Hey :)

Hi everyone

I'm Andrew. Or, hopefully I will be someday.

Over the last couple of years I've come out as a gay woman but it's only been in the last few months that I've started to realise why I've always hated my body so much. I now identify as FtM trans and plan on taking the first steps in speaking about transitioning soon.

My family haven't reacted too well to me coming out as gay and I know this would be far harder on them. I want to get started soon but can't see myself taking T while an elderly relative is still here. It would just be too hard for her and I want to cause as little upset as possible, while still being as true to myself as I can. Even small steps like setting up an email address in my new name just feel so right. Recently I realised that I've always been male in my dreams.

Hopefully this will be a place to explore my thoughts and feelings as well as finding people in similar situations to go through the journey with.

Look forward to getting to know you

Andrew

 

Thanks everyone. Hopefully taking another massive step this week by telling a couple of friends. Difficult at the moment but ultimately I know it has to be done.
