oh shit, i forgot to mention, i've totally been on t for 6 months now. woo!! it's still hard as fuck to self-inject, but i get it done. well, except the two times i had moe do it for me. it made it a lot harder to do yesterday because the two times before that i didn't have to do it. so, i've decided i can't let someone else inject me anymore. i need to force myself to do it every time so i get better at it and don't rely on others to help me. last night i decided i "couldn't do it" but there was no one around who could. and guess what, i did do it. because i can do it, even when it takes me five million hours to realize that i am physically able to put a needle in my leg.

i thought it was time to start a journal to document any transition progress and to have a place specifically for ranting about trans issues.  i will still be doing that in my main journal, but this is more a dedicated place to feel comfortable trannying about.  i plan to post pictures (perhaps nude at some point-those will go behind an lj cut) and discuss therapy, hormones, surgery, etc.  i want to be open about my fears, worries, joys, and anything in between, and want to use this as a place to be self-affirming about being ftm.  i will also post things i find while researching trans related info.  i need this to be a place i can be comfortable, so please keep that in mind.  that doesn't mean you shouldn't share your opinions, though.  i want this to be a place my friends can feel free to ask me questions and get honest answers.  this is going to be friends only, so let me know if you want to be added.  anyway, that's enough of an intro for now.
