Introductions: Stepping out from the shadows

[velvet-dawn.livejournal.com]

Greetings,
I just wanted to drop a line to everyone here and introduce myself. I am a 23 year old MtF transgender and was searching for a place to come a just talk and maybe even just be there for others if needed. I have always been shy and am not usually one to seek out others for help (usually I am the one giving the help\aid\advice). However I know myself well enough to know when to take a step and seek support. This whole business has been something I have been keeping to myself for many years. I just reached a point where it was either let it tear me apart slowly until one day the depression and stress of not being able to be who I am killed me, or summon every bit of strength and courage I have and final be me. Needless to say I chose the second option. I hope to enjoy my time here, though I know it will not be all grassy meadows and gentle springs, and I do so look forward to speaking with each of you.

deed is done - the parents know

I'm still in a bit of shock, to be honest. I can only imagine what they are feeling.

dammit.
i'm never going to pass as male.

over the weekend, i'm writing a note to show to all my teachers on monday.
something along the lines of:
although all my records state that i am female, i am transgendered and would very much appriciate it if you would call me 'chris' and use male pronouns when refering to me. i also wish to keep this between my teachers and myself, as i am not out to my parents, family, or friends yet. i am doing this only to make myself feel safer and more comfortable while attending this school.
thank you,
chris deacon.

it's probably too late to do this now, two weeks into school, but whatever.
hopefully everyone will realize that past references to me using my birth name and female pronouns were merely a mistake.

ideas?

I know I post too much

I know I only just got here and I know I most likely am posting too much as it is, but I was curious if anyone was around tonight between about 10pm and 2am eastern time and felt like talking, I could use the company. I'm feeling a bit blah right now.
Thanks
