Sooo...I'm Transgender!!
 

Hey Mofos,

I figure it's time I bring you all into the fold: I identify as transgender. It was about a year and a half ago that I finally admitted it to myself, and it wasn't until now that I finally became comfortable with telling people.

I'm an open book so—if you want—feel free to ask any question. I will keep you all informed on my transition in this thread.

Cheers!!

Hey MoFos

I figure it's time I bring you all into the fold: I identify as heterosexual male. It was about twenty and a half ago that I finally admitted it to myself, and it wasn't until now that I finally became comfortable with telling people.

Cheers!

Hi John!
Question: if you "identify" as transgender does that mean you do not identify as either male or female?

Re: Sooo...I'm Transgender!!
 

Thanks for sharing, Kendra. :)

I'm pretty sure that would be agender not transgender.

I would think someone would only "identify" as male or female (since those are the two definitive genders on the opposite ends of the spectrum and for which we have established biological and social roles). But if someone identifies as "transgender" it sounds like they identify as neither sex, but as something in between.

This is just a terminology question for clarity.

I only have one thing to say....


I wish you a happy life:) It can't be easy for you, hopefully your family and friends are supportive.

Re: Sooo...I'm Transgender!!
 

Be yourself. It does take bravery to do so, so be strong as well.

To Minio,

You like girls then?

Thank you for sharing. Hope you're doing okay.

Have to ask, though: can I still call you MattJohn? Can I just append another name onto that? :D

Re: Sooo...I'm Transgender!!
 

I for one would love to see PICS of your transition. If you would be so inclined of course.

Congrats on opening up to us. I can only speak for myself, but you have my support.

Have you told family members? How have your friends/family taken it?

Definitely a valid question. I fluctuate between masculine and feminine at times, but I definitely feel more feminine. So when I say I am transgender I mean that how I feel doesn't match my physical traits and how I am perceived in the world.

I will be posting pictures at some point. I haven't started hormones yet, so I still look like good ole MattJohn.

And yes, Yoda, you can still call me MattJohn. :laugh:

Welcome to the site...how you identify yourself is pretty much a non-issue to me, the only thing I care about is whether or not you like musicals.

We now have definitive proof that MattJohn doesn't come around here enough any more.

"I'm transgender."
"k."
"La La Land was overrated."
"FREAK."

JohnMcClane's been here for years. Just usually in the shoutbox instead of on the forum.

BTW, McClane, should we use female pronouns for you now or stay with the male ones?

Re: Sooo...I'm Transgender!!
 

Looking forward to seeing your avatars morph, along with the hormones.:D

Yes. I like girls. Girls and Swan.

McClane has been here longer than me!!!!

Re: Sooo...I'm Transgender!!
 

Be you McClane.

I love that!:)...and I love musicals!:p
