This is my first post and I am excited to meet and make some new friends here! I don't have much experience with forums but I am trying to figure it all out! So many selections and things to try out and fill out!

Hi Fierce! Welcome to the planet, our little home away from home. It can be confusing at first but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Practice makes perfect. Anyway, have fun!

Welcome Fierce! You will get the hang of it before you know it. Have a great time reading and responding!

Hey folks! Been here a couple of weeks...just wanna say hi to everyone. Bay area boy who works for a private non-profit by day and plays as much tennis as possible the rest of the time.

Welcome to the planet batennisboy! My guess is that if you have been here a few weeks, you are already having some fun. Enjoy!

Wow. I can't... believe... I'm doing this... again.

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. 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.

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.

Koffeelvr · 08-11-2013, 01:01 PM

Howdy. I'm in my last 40's and live in the Washington DC area.

I love to travel and spend time with family and friends. I am a geek by profession.

Anything else you would like to know? Feel free to ask
