transThis is my first first posting in this community, even though lurking for quite some time now.
This will probably be my only post on here... nothing wrong with everyone here, I'm just the type to likes to stay behind the scenes. Anyhow, down to business.
I'm a 21 year old male to female transsexual who lives in the Pittsburgh Area, currently going to the University of Pittsburgh as a Physics Major, junior year. I've been on hormones for the last seven months or so, and liking the results I've had so far. I currently room with a few friends, who all know what I'm doing *I'm enfemme every-other day around the house now... if not more often* and are very supportive. To be straight forward, all those close to me now know after about 10 months of coming out to everyone necessary. This includes family and friends, and all are supportive to an extent (difference in opinions with mother and father with me being on hormones, that's about it), and everyone is accepting. To say I've been lucky in that respect is an understatement. So why make this post?
To be honest outside my family and close friends, I'm a very shut-off person from most other people, period. Therefore in the year that I've been slowly making (and trust me, I've been doing this at a slow pace) my transitioning, I've been unable to possibly meet any peers who might be also be transsexual, and be within the Oakland/Squirrel Hill area. I'm not going to rush up to anyone asking them if I might suspect something. I'm not one to go to support groups or anything like that mainly for the fact that knowing 95%+ of those transitioning are older than me... at times more than twice my senior. Therefore making it very hard to relate, and have made this very clear to my therapist. Not to mention... I tend to harshly shun people I don't consider intelligent, and I come off as a cocky know-it-all... if you knew my past this would be obvious as to why once sitting someone down and explaining it to them.
After this long-winded post, I was wondering if there was anyone within the area, and similiar age to myself that I could converse with and maybe start to talk to. My friends and family are wonderful and all, but I need to reach out and see who else is out there, like myself or not, and start to see the world a little here.
I prefer to be contacted by AIM/e-mail.
