I am meeting someone today for the first time, a FtM who also is new to this city and is also from the place I moved here from. I am hoping it goes well and that I will have a new friend. We have lots in common. The truth is I don't know any/many FtMs, and I've started reading literature written by FtMs and it's awesome but it would be nice to have a support network IRL. I am also meeting (again) a guy in my old digs when we go back to visit next week. I am excited for that. He is someone who works with a lot of trans folks, including youth. He is such a nice guy.

I don't know if anyone else can relate, but this just feels too easy in a way. Like I realize I'm trans, and so many things just 'click' and then I actually feel a sense of ease and peace, a sense of excitement about how my journey will unfold even though I have no idea about if or how I will transition physically, or much of anything else at this point. I guess it helps that I've already started telling people in my life that I am trans and so far everyone's really supportive. I am thinking about getting a FtM support/social group going at my local Pride chapter here at the university. It would be nice to be able to connect with other folks here on campus who identify on the masculine spectrum. I want to get involved in other ways too, but I think that would be a good way to get specific support. I have a lot of MtF friends but our experiences vary quite drastically.

Anyway...hope everyone's doing okay today.
