Hi! My name's Evan! I chose that name because at the time I identified with purely nb, and I thought it was a cool gender neutral name. I am a trans FTM/nonbinary guy. I tried wearing a binder once, and it almost damaged my rib cage and then I'd have to explain how it happened to my mother. I hope that I get support from this site, as I barely get support on my gender. I have a few friends who will use he/they and my name, but I'm mostly called Dad in my friend group, which is fine. I don't mind my birth name/pronouns because it was how I grew up, but I think my opinion on that will change once I'm able to safely say that I am a boy. Feel free to call me using discord; my sever (that I just started) is https://discord.gg/D5DNha  I won't be on all the time, but Ill reply when I can>

Hey dude :) 

 

Before I was "out", I needed a way to  hide my developing breasts.  I wore a snug, very firm control sports bra and it carried me for 7 years until I did come out.  It's not perfect and I had to wear loose clothing as well, but it didn't hurt my ribs.

Thanks! As it's time for me to start sports again, Ill have a good excuse to get them so it'll all work out hopefully.

Hi Even,

Welcome to TransPulse. I'm glad you're here!

 

While I'm M2F, I've read some on the forums hear about the dangers of binders. JJ knows a lot about that. I'm glad you avoided serious trouble. I know that anything that puts too much pressure on the rib cage can be mortally dangerous, as it can put pressure on the lungs and in turn the heart.

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Evan.  We have a growing cadre of FtM and non-binary self-identified members here, and that's a welcome change.  We need that diversity here, in what used to be an almost exclusively MtF site.  I hope you find friends, find support and find good information in these forums.  I see that you've already found some of the latter.  I look forward to hearing more from you.

 

HUGS

      Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.

      I mean, we're trying !  Just have to be a Southern Girl for now.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
