Hey everyone. So I've been on here for a short while but haven't yet properly introduced myself. So here I am! lol. This forum is awesome, you all are awesome. Looking forward to all the future discussions! A bit about myself. I've very recently discovered myself as trans. I stumbled across it while reading through a different forum, and then looked it up a little more. I was amazed - I'm not alone! Not only that, but over time I'm realizing (partly thanks to the great people on here) that it's not even shameful. Hard, but not shameful. I also found the medical breakthroughs for physical transitions were more than I ever dreamed possible (and believe me, I've been dreaming of medical transitioning since I was 5 or 6). Because I've tried to ignore and stuff this part of me away, I've been battling depression, anxiety and depersonalization since my pre-teens. But now that I'm accepting myself and taking steps toward transition, those symptoms are starting to go away. Sometimes I freak out a bit thinking I won't be able to transition or that my family won't accept me, but I know in my gut this is where I'm going. So, with all that said, It's a pleasure to meet you all *bows*
