Obligitory intro post

So I was bemoaning the lack of a livejournal community that I felt could really get my situation last night, when the person I was talking to was like 'why don't you just join the non-op community for it?'

I had no idea you all existed.

And this morning, waiting for me in my e-mail inbox was a link here. I guess before I get on with it, I just want ( Read more... )

Nice to meet you! I'm in a very similar boat and found this site useful in terms of finding out about ways to feel more comfortable with the body I've got: http://www.ftmguide.org/.

I have to say first, I love your icon, and regularly read the softer side. Awesome.

Thanks for the link too, I'll check it out!

Welcome.

I'm sick and out of it so I can't come up with anything else to say, but hi.

Sucks about being sick, shitty time of year for it. Hope it improves.

Thanks for your kind words about the comm info. I appreciate it. Welcome. This place hasn't been very active the past year or so, but plenty of people still watch it, so I'm sure you'll get some helpful responses.

I think my actual thoughts when I read it were 'wow, this is awesome. Who can I tell about this?' Along with the rest of the thoughts mentioned above. So, thanks for making the place of awesome.

I can be active as hell, but might get accused of spamming the community then -grin- you'll have to let me know where to draw the line.

Welcome! And question, you said surgery wasn't an option, but I assume that since you're non-transitioning hormones or a low dose also aren't an option, right?

In that case, yeah, just anything you can do that will make you feel comfortable not only as possibly being seen as more male but also as yourself, is a good option. Binding, packing, a guyish haircut, guy's clothes, etc. I'm sure you know a lot of this, already, but the closer you can get to who you are inside the more comfortable and happier you may be. :)

Yeah, it isn't an option right now for a few reasons, but really because I want to get comfortable with myself and how my body's working before I add other hormones to the mix.

I've been taking a look at quite a few packers, watched some reviews, but would welcome any suggestions from here as well.
