I'm Evan -- I go by Vanya (Russian-style nickname, from my father's side of the family). I'm a life-long out dyke who is finally, at 60-ish, owning that I'm trans.

And I'm dead happy to have found this forum, which seems like a good place to hang out and maybe get some support as I figure all this out...

Welcome! You will find a lot of trans* people here (FTM, male-identified but not transitioning, etc). If you haven't checked it out already, look for the Trans Zone for some great threads.

I'm glad you are on the path to embracing your true self.

Vanya 08-03-2013 06:18 PM

alexri, thanks for the welcome.

I've poked around here quite a bit, enough to get a sense that this is an actual community, which is rare on the interwebz... I'm looking forward to being a part of it, and I hope I have something to offer others here.

I was that kid -- drove my mother crazy from day one because I refused to wear skirts, spent my birthday money on toy trucks, and wanted to be Clint Eastwood when I grew up.

I've always passed as a guy about half the time in casual interactions (grocery store, etc.)... I've always preferred "Sir" to "Ma'am... etc., etc., etc.

So here I am, and it's weird, scary, but pretty exciting to be coming out all over again, and deciding (literally) what to make of myself.

Wait. No. What?

A real community? Us?

:D

You found us. I'm glad.

Welcome to the Planet, Vanya. I have a dear bioboy friend who is a Vanya (and Russian, 1st gen US).

If you have questions, ask. We are here to help and we are glad you are here.

I know you just got here, but consider joining us in Little Rock in 56 days for the Planet Reunion. You and yours would be very welcome. :)

Vanya 08-04-2013 09:41 PM

Thanks, all, for the warm welcome. Happy to be here, and I'm looking forward to good conversations and to getting to know folks.

Katelar 08-09-2013 05:44 PM

Morning all.

Found these boards by accident and from looking around today it seems like just the place i'd like to hang out.

I'm from England, so forgive me if it takes me a while to get to grips with some of the terminology you use here as it appears most of you are based in the States.

I'm just shy of 30, work in education and identify as myself. There's lots of identities and i'm a mixture of a few, but I edge more towards butch than anything else.

Hello Jonas! Seems like you did a fine job on your intro. Welcome to the site. What part of PA did you move to? Good luck with your surgery!

lusciouskiwi 08-18-2013 07:54 AM

Sending all the new members a Kiwi wave from SE Asia - see, not all members are from Canada or the US. :D

It's almost my bedtime and I haven't had dinner yet, so had better get cracking!

Enjoy! :goodluck:

Hey from Texas!
 
Hey! I apparently joined in 2009 and forgot I did and have just rediscovered this site. I'm 29 and live in rural East Texas. I work in the social work field. I enjoy reading, movies, cooking and church activities (currently a lot of my time is taken up in church as I am a youth minister) Hope to have children and a family of my own one day but that hasn't happened yet.

LadyApples 08-30-2013 06:30 PM

Hello everyone! I'm Valerie, and I actually joined back in June and then got distracted or something (most likely distracted). I'm from Western MA and work at an office doing boring financial stuff, though I do enjoy it. Glad to be here and look forward to talking to the lot of you and making some more queer friends in the process!

Howdy girliefemme4u! There are a lot of single folks around here who love to flirt as well so I'm sure you'll have no problem. Flirting can definitely be fun and so can this site!! Hope you find a lot of happiness here!

Hi musicalbutch! There are a lot of other people here who live in California so I'm sure you'll have no problem making a lot of friends. Lol at fun size. The 1/2of an inch is definitely important! Enjoy!

Hello randomnotes! Welcome to the planet, our little home away from home. Glad you rediscovered us. I'm sure you'll find that family of your own some day. Great things come to those who wait and when it is right, it will happen. Best of luck to you!

Hiya Valerie! How could you get distracted away from all of us wonderful people??!! lol Just kidding. Life sometimes gets in the way doesn't it? There are a lot of queer folk running amuck around here so I'm sure you'll have no problem making friends. Hope you have as much fun as the rest of us!

Bumping for newbie introductions! :rrose:

butchiegirl 09-08-2013 01:03 PM

Hello everyone,
I'm new here. It will be nice to chat and meet new and fun people.
My favorite thing to do is create good food to share with friends. Being butch, I love camping by a lake and hiking the trails of Northern Minnesota.

Kurt 09-12-2013 09:44 AM

Well.....
 
Hi. My name is Kurt. I'm a transsexual man. I've only done the on-line thing once before (not here) and got burned so I've shied away from it. But a friend of mine suggested I try this sight. She said it was tolerant of guys like me. (I still haven't asked her how she knew all this lol). Anyway, I'm a self employed consultant. Boring stuff, to most people. I do time management studies and crunch numbers for companies. I like messing around with cars, particularly classics. I also really enjoy wood working and building things. I like meeting new people and believe you can make any experience a good experience. Well, that's about all I can manage to comfortably say about myself. lol I really don't like the whole descriptor thing. But I'm totally cool at answering questions. I hope to make some friends here and who knows: maybe find true love? Hey, it could happen, right? My friend said so... ;-)

Tolerant?
Of guys like you?
Hell to the no.
We don't tolerate you.

We embrace you. We celebrate you. We are very glad you found us, Kurt.

My honey is a guy like you. :D You've found the right place.

Be open. Be honest. Don't react when someone hits a button. Breathe some. Think some. Breathe some more. :D Because buttons will get pushed.

Think of us as a really large, crazy-assed, family. :D
