transHello, I just joined the group, and I figure I might introduce myself. I'm 20 years old, going to school at Murray State University, and I live in and around the Western Kentucky/Tennessee region. Here recently, I just came out to my closest friend as well as my school's Gay/Straight Alliance. If my memory serves, I'll be Alliance's first transgender student.
Anyways, yes, I am a male-to-female transgender who just recently came to terms with that fact. I've always felt I was a bit different, but, for the longest time, I've kept everything inside of me so bottled up in a misguided attempt to try and be the "man of the house" so to speak. However, as I got out on my own, and did a bit of soul-searching, I really began to discover who I am. I thought at first, all I wanted to do was just crossdress here and there, so, I did so. However, the first time I ever truly dressed up, makeup and all, I took one look in the mirror and said to myself "This is right. This is who I am." Ever since then, the feelings of being a woman have just grown stronger and stronger still, as if what I've kept so bottled up over the years is finally coming free. I've been having some pretty severe depressive episodes over all of this, and I'm just wanting to be able to look myself in the mirror, and see myself again, not as I am now.
That's my story, and well, I'm pleased to introduce myself.
