hey, here are some livejournal groups that should be welcoming. there are many others but these are just some ones i know of:

our_own_path

genderqueer

femme_ftm

i'm a member of these three groups and people are very friendly there. :)

[SamC74]

Thanks, Kevin. I'm familiar with all 3 and I belong to one of them. I'm not much of a participant there, though I do read others' posts. I'm still learning how to take what I need from it and leave the rest, you know?

it seems fucked up to me that having lived in female bodies that they want to perpetuate gender stereotypes

[pointatthemoon]

I never feel at home on any of those boards either. It's weird how rigid and downright ignorant and stupid people can be. They should know what it feels like to be on the outside. Don't feel alone about this, heh. Sometimes it feels like they are so obsessed with "passing" that they cut out pieces of themselves that our culture won't accept in our binary gender system. I mean if they want to play those roles, that's fine.. but they shouldn't act like that's the only way to be.

I'm androgenous. And I'm short. But I'm a man and I'm not gonna drop my style even once I get on T. I'm proud of who I am. I want to be lean and heathy, and cut. Not big and bulky. I only want to "pass" as a pretty goth bisexual guy. XD

[GiantBlueDragon]

Cool. I really relate to you.

Oh and, I'm English, and that was a damn good English accent you did when you said "Where's my teleprompter?" Seriously!!!

It's true, you do look like you could be a man as well as a woman. YOur face is kind of masculine.

[AldinTheMad]

The irony is if you trained your voice to be deeper (would need some work) / took T you'd already begin to pass your face looks masculine enough to me (I'm no expert)... Do you by any chance belong to a heavy metal band? Do drugs? Drive a van? Wear tye-died shirts? Sit around thinking about the meaning of life? Or are you going to just shatter ALL of those stereotypes too :p

YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The word "Transgender" itself does NOT in any way imply physicality. Gender is all in our heads, SEX is what's between our legs. Transgender and transexual are two completely different concepts. A lot of people are confused/ignorant to this. My suggestion: ignore these people.

Hey,Sam,I'm an ftm as well, pre op as well, and i agree with everything you're saying, men dont have to be big and MANLEY!. TT. I hate people like that. If you have msn or yahoo I'd be glad to talk to you, I have a friend, Aki-kun, who's ftm as well. So just so you know, I'm here for you. -hugs comfourtingly- I'm androgenous as well. Oh and I'm 15 btw, almost 16, for reference.
