Refered and so Introducing

[punktour2000.livejournal.com]

Someone refered me to this community from crossdressing, because I have been asking questions about starting on hormones and transitioning. So, I thought I'd join this community. A little bit about me.

My name is Tom, I'm 18 and live in northern Colorado. I have a very beautiful and supportive girlfriend (I guess that would make me lesbian-identified). I would go by Jessica for a femme name, but I'm still more comfortable with Tom at this point in my life.

And, just because I have this now, here's a picture of me.

Thank you!

Some of you may remember I posted about Res Life at Wash U in St. Louis, asking for advice on my final meeting with them--
well, the meeting was on Friday, and it went well-- WE WERE APPROVED! I can live with two of my male-bodied friends next year (I am female-bodied, do not ID as aboy or as a girl, jus myself).

So, over the course of the next year, it is likely Res Life at WUSTL will be looking into is own policies and such; the two folks who made this decision from Res Life ae pretty GLBTQ-friendly... so yes! A stepforward!

Hello. This has been bothering me for some time now, so I thought I should check out a community, leery as I am, and give it a try.

Physically I'm a sixteen year old female in America. I live in a Christian home, with a pastor for a dad. I've identified myself as bisexual for about five years now, been lightly cross-dressing for about half that time, and I've been binding for two years. I've suspected I'm trans, or something akin, on and off for awhile now. I prefer looking like a boy most of the time, even though I can't quite pull it off.

I've wanted mamoplasty for awhile, but resist telling anyone - specifically, my parents and counsillor - up until now because I thought it might be, as my mother said, "just a phase". But I don't think it is.

I'm wondering, is there anyone out there older than I who's gone through this and come out realizing it WAS a "phase". Or, is there any suggestions other than going under the knife? Better binding techniques? Help? Support? Anything.
