transWell, I've been lurking, frightened and confused, for a couple of weeks now, but I thought that I should introduce myself and since this is the group where the majority of the posts on my friends page come from I thought I'd start here with the basics.
I'm a 20 year old genetic male. This journal I call my "voice" and is dedicated to my gender issues and anything else that may come up that even my real-life friends are only vaguely aware of. I'm here because I've felt confused and scared most of my life for some reason, and one day about a month ago I began to read about GID and transsexualism and all that and thought to myself "hey, that seems to describe me!" I've spent my time since then trying to talk myself out of it, but the more I think about things the more this all seems right. It feels right, which is saying something because I'm a "good boy" and suppress my feelings so well that I usually don't feel them at all anymore. Anyway, I'm from Southern California, deeply introverted so that even intros like this are a bit uncomfortable, very verbose when nervous (can you tell?) and looking to attend college in the Bay Area in Apparel Design and Merchandising if I ever get my general ed done.
Anyway, I'm here to give words of encouragement as someone at the head of the path looking out (apparently I'm not alone), and hopefully to continue to learn by reading the entries and comments in this community. That's all for now.
