transHey everyone!
My name is Michael. I'm ftm transgender and this is my first time posting to this community on LJ. I actually just got involved in LJ and someone recommended that I join this community asap. I'm also on TrueSelves (michaeldavid is the name there) for anyone that is also on that forum.
I'm here mainly to get some sort of support system going for myself. I have a little bit of one currently, but there are some issues with it. One of my friends is transgender, but she has a hard time helping me with everything because she's having a hard time in her transition process and isn't used to ftm transitioning.
Thus far I'm pretty much pre-everything. I've picked a name (as you could guess my parent's didn't name their "girl" Michael), have started wearing men's clothing and am planning on cutting my hair. I haven't done anything beyond that and it will probably be a while before I can. I can't really afford therapy right now, but I'm going to try to work on that soon. As for transitioning in general, I'm really interested in starting HRT once I start therapy and come out as well as having chest surgery.
Anyway, I would love to get to know everybody and I look forward to learning more about the community.
