Hello everyone, as you can tell I am new here. I am 23 years old (well 23 in a month) Male (ftm) though post everything and my name I Lucien. You are welcome to call me Luke or Lucas, either one if fine by me! I am 'out' to my two closest friends, both standing by me no matter what I want. The fact that they love me no matter what makes a lot of thing easier, though they aren't sure how they can help, just listening to me and being there is all I can ever ask. I wish I was confident enough and had the resources to come out to my family, but I still live at home as I save money to move out and I can't take the chance. I went looking for online fourms were I could be myself and get advice; I found my way here. I hope to make friends and find some support by people who understand, since there is no where I can go in my city. I just started doing self discovery last year and growing to become more comfortable with what I know is true, have yet to really say it out loud. Though if I look bad there is a big neon sign of how odviouse it was, but around me you are froced into the gender role you were born into and my self esteem suffered greatly through my preteen and teenage years. Umm I don't really want to go into a life story so I will end it here. I am pretty shy so making new friends is hard, even on the internet and I hope I can push myself to just talk to people. Feel free to talk to me and I this forum seems very open and friendly, I hope to find the support and advice I am looking for. See ya around.
Hey Luke (I like that name ) Welcome to EC, I really hope you find that here is the place you need to be able to be yourself! There's plenty of kind and caring people here who are waiting and willing to talk to anyone
