Hullo, I'm Max and I'm trans (I'll pause for the AA-style chorus of 'Hello Max'). Okay, ice broken? Sweet. I'm 23 and from Ontario. I came out as trans a few years ago, but due to my living situation and general mental state, I was only able to actively pursue my transition at the beginning of last year. I'm on the council for the local chapter of Pride, but other than that, I haven't actually been involved in the trans community or met many other trans people.

In an effort to reduce the clutter in my life, both physical and mental, I've created a new journal, since my old one was started long before I had the tools to recognize that I was part of a greater crowd of people who just didn't fit with the very slim, defined box that society presented, and it held a lot of bad blood, towards myself and the world at large. So. Fresh start, and I wanted to actually reach out to talk to other people.

So, here I am, and hello!

And as a bit of a side note, if there are any other transguys from Ontario who are having a bit of a nightmare navigating the bureaucratic mess that is Ontario's transgender* policies, feel free to drop a message in my inbox and I will do my very best to help you out.

Hi my name is Brandon im 16 years old and im not on any hormones because my family is not accepting of any LGB T type of people and pretty much in everyones mind its why not be a lesbian, And im alson African American. Every since summer has came around ive become more and more dysphoric know i have been told im nice looking and im also very athletic so for an example like in gym today i was the only non bio male in the gym and my favorite sport is basketball and also football, but when me and a couple of other dudes came in their were some guys with their shirt off and it really bothered me because it gets hot in the gym after a while and i'd like to take my shirt off to even when it comes to playing basketball at home outside theirs a guy who goes to the same school as me and sometimes he will have his shirt off, It it gets hot out, And nother things people dont treat me like a girl or guy people in the gym know im pretty sweet at basketball but none of the guys ever call me to play with them like they had a 3 point contest i wanted to run but do you think they gone call me no. Also theirs girls i really do want a relationship and its kinda hard to ignore it when one of my boys always be hugged up on his girlfriend, every girl i do like thinks im a creep or weird and then decide to get with some other guy who looks better than me, I always feel like im gonna be alone for the rest of my life and its not just highschool girls who are immature or dont understand its grown women to and i'd like to date and marry a christian women,Missing out on everything like sports or prom and homecoming thoes things i wanna be able to do yea some of you might say i didnt do any of that thats you though and most of the people i talk with are going,Friends in general dont understand me just because i walk around with a smile people think its all good but the fake smile is getting old know,Know matter how many people i talk to i still get that lonely feeling even though i really dont have that many friends, Sometimes i cant even relate to other transguys because alot of them may have support have started T have alot of friends or have a loving caring adoring girlfriend i cant relate to that,And dont even let me get started on the bottom dysphoria not being able to biologically have kids some of you might say adoption but who ever i end up with might wanna experience real motherhood and childbirth i do because its a miracle that an egg and liquid can make a baby so its gonna bother me, I get jealous of little boys being raised and brought up as how they were ment to be with no having to go through all this with no support, And even when i get on T my whole family is still not goning to except me and i might get disowned,I dont even feel like a real boy at times i just feel like a handicap boy with special needs pepple still laugh when i try to tell them im a boy and wonder how can i be a boy without a dick, Not to mention im not all that intrigued by the surgery they could do way better than that.

Hello, I've just recently joined this community and thought I'd leave sort of an introduction here for you guys. Ahem... so, you can either call me by my LJ username, or simply by the name J. I'm 21 years old and transitioning has been part of my life for almost 3 years now. Somewhere in the spring of 2010 I met the nurse for the first time, January 2011 I got diagnosed (F64.0, transsexual) and on August 2011, I started the HRT -- best birthday present like.. EVER! I've got my top surgery as well as hysterectomy done, and I'm currently waiting in a line for genital operations, so excited for this to finally happen! I'm highly interested in LGBTQ-rights, as well as human rights generally, but I also find folklore, myths, legends and stuff like that really fascinating, I've also got interest in psychology and medical things.

I'm a "big brother" of one awesome "little brother" inside the trans community and I really love seeing how much I can help him with my words, getting to know him was one of the best things ever happened to me :) If you think we could have something to say to each other, don't hesitate to friend me, I'm always happy to meet new people!

Hi, everyone! I go by "Plex", and I live in Western Australia. I never really used LJ before, but I got pointed here by a guy on a forum I just joined.
I "outed" myself to my mother late last year, and started trying a very slow social transition until I backtracked this year and crawled back in the closet. I didn't really have any support back then, so I've just started looking around online for communities where I can connect with some other trans folk, mainly guys,  and maybe make a few friends :)

Hey guys. I pretty much just revived this super old account so I could have a place to talk about my trans issues. I would really like some friends who talk about that as well and know what I'm going through. I'm personally fairly stealth, though I'm pre-everything, and I work witin trans-politics in my country. I like to comment and read about other people's lifes.

My journal is empty right now, but I assure you it will be filled up quickly. Anyone interested in adding me?

I'm pre everything and not out yet, and I'm just looking for some other trans guys to befriend and talk to, fb, text, email, etc. I don't know any other trans guys, so I've been searching high and low for places where people actually respond back to your posts.

yhelo. I'm E, and I'm brand new here.

While I haven't taken the transition, I know that I'm going to go through the change, or see what I can do to obtain a sense of 'normality' to my gender. I suppose it's not so much the butterflies in my stomach over the whole ordeal, but rather the security in hearing that it'll be worth it.

I've spent far too long trying to 'fake it' as my birth-gender, but want to know if walking down the whole path of the transition will weight out in my favor in the end. For those of you who have gone through it all, and have tackled the issues of sex/dating, work, 'growing up', what are your 'words to the wise'? Did you battle through it, and have come out victoriously? Are you still trying to find how it all works? What proved to be the biggest challenge for you?

I have no idea to what to do with myself these days and I need some help. To how to get some help to what I need to do get me started by saying how do i go about finding some1 to help me through all the emotions and physical pain i'm getting  when it seems no one there to help me. 

How can I go about finding somebody that can help me understand why Im so insecure of myself with everyone and how can invent from it happening? but most of all how can I find a doctor that can give me the right information that I need for all of these questions That I hid from my own grandparent as I feel she's to busy to help me physically n emotionally.

I live in Long Beach California as it been hard to find what I need the past 20 years that I have felt this way and it making my diabetes go out of control cause of this pain and physically n emotionally....

If I can get some answer to what I am looking for than I'd bee thankful. And will do anything to get my life back together to where im not hurting myself emotionally or physically. Like all Transgender's I'm just torn apart as much as anything and just want to live somewhat a normal life.    

Hi everyone,
I'm pre-everything. I've known I was a boy since I was a little kid but I'm just now taking baby steps toward transitioning. I was identifying as genderqueer for awhile. Some of you may remember me from my old LJ account Johnny_Bulldog, which I erased after getting raped this June. Anyway, like I said I'm at the beginning stages of transitioning and I wanted to make friends with other trans-guys. I'm not sure how far I'm going with the surgery but I definitly want the top taken care of. Everything is waiting on finances and weight loss at the moment. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. Feel free to add me, especially if you live in GA. Some local friends would be awesome, but I'm happy with online friends anywhere.
