Hey folks, Nice to meet you all. Hope all is well. Guess I'll say a bit about myself. I am 25 year old, and I guess I'm here because I've had a secret all my life that I just can't keep to myself anymore. I'm trans, FTM, and I've known ever since early high school, I just didn't know what my feelings meant at the time. I didn't even hear the word transgender until college. I figured it was too late for me, so I hid it. Did all the things I was "supposed to do". Thought maybe I was just messed up and I could forget about it. Graduated, got married, bought a house. After all that I still wasn't happy. I knew I couldn't deny it anymore. Now I'm trying to decide what happens from here. I've come out to my partner, a few friends, and my mom. I'm hoping this place gives me a space to just be me. I guess that's it for now. TTYL -Gavin (still trying out the name)
