Hey there all! I'm Dylan, and I'm twenty two years old. For the longest time I identified as a lesbian, but within the past few years I've begun to question my gender identity. I have finally discovered that I am actually, in fact, a straight male. I am in the very beginning stages of the FTM process- I am buying my first binder tomorrow. I'm also going to start working out and go on a period-eliminating birth control. I'm looking into things like changing my name, etc. I have depression and anxiety and am currently taking Effexor 150 mg. I wonder if the depression is linked to the dysphoria, it probably is. I've come out to a lot of friends- my girlfriend is very, very supportive. I feel incredibly lucky. This year I've decided I'm going to be the real me in every possible way So yeah, that's a little about me and if you've got questions please ask?
Congratulations! I'm Raug. I'm fifteen and pansexual. I like to talk to people and I'm easy to talk to. Feel free to message me. Welcom to EC.
Raug I like your name! Is it pronounced like "rogue" or another way? Thanks for the congrats & the hello.
Hi Dylan! Welcome to EC! I really know how you feel a bit, Im starting on hormone replacement therapy this month & finally starting to begin my life as myself, but Ive just started to sort of question things myself too, it's been confusing & all new to me too. If you ever want to chat, lemme know! (*hug*)
Hey thanks for all the welcomes! @thecat06 you're from Ohio too? wicked I'm from the southeastern part, right on the border of WV. and Kiersten I'd like that a lot I don't really know anyone trans* so it would be cool to talk to someone <3
Absolutely Dylan! And there are some really awesomely nice trans people here too, so you & I are definitely in some very wonderful company here on EC! I think Dylan is such an awesome name, BTW!
Well that's kind of you to say. The name sort of "found me" I guess and it really stuck. Sometimes I wish we were given nonpermanent names when we were born and then got to pick them later on.
That's cool. My hometown is about 30min from Columbus and I go to college about an hour from Cleveland.
Welcome to EC! I'm another FTM, and I'm a little further along transitioning that you, so if you want to talk, feel free to leave me a profile comment/PM.
