oh, and capt's questions:
1) How old are you? 23
2) At what age did you feel "different"? well this is hard because i felt like i was a boy from age 5 on up, but didn't feel "different" then. i'm not 100% sure when i started to feel different.
3) At what age do you remember not liking your female body? around age 13, when i started puberty
4) Have you ever had sexual attraction to a male? If so, at what age? no, i'm asexual
5) Have you ever had sexual attraction to a female? If so, at what age? no, i'm asexual
6) Now that you identify yourself as male, looking back at your life, do you now recognize signs from earlier in your life? omg deffinatly. with the exception for places where i had to dress up, like mu cousin's wedding, and stuff like that, i haven't worn "girl's clothes" since i was in middle school.
7) Today, are you sexually attracted to males or females? In other words, are you a transgender heterosexual male or a transgender homosexual male? i consiter myself primaraly a homo-asexual male... that is i have physical, emotional, and romantic attractions to other males but not sexual attractions, although i suspect that will change when i'm fully transitioned. the asexual part i mean. i still have asexual attractions towards woman, but not like seeing a random girl and being like "oh she's hot" it's more like i could date a girl, but only one that i've known for a long time and have a deeper level of attraction to.
What is your religion today, and is it what you were raised to be? i'm a buddhist. i say i was "raised" catholic... i say it like that because we were like... easter and christmas catholics.
9) I read that you have told your family. Are they supportive? What was their initial reaction to your coming out? Did it all make sense and click with them? Did they ignore signs? in my mom's words "this actually makes sence! cool!"
10) How are your teachers and the school reacting to this? i go to a university that has a VERY open minded staff for the most part. i haven't run into any troubles with my professors yet. i'm registered with the student disabilities office for other things, and everyone registered with them gets a form letter to give to their professors at the startof the semester that says your name and something like "the above student has a documented disability... blah blah blah... please respect these accomadations...." so next to my name i write "i'm transgender, please call me paxton and use male pronouns. thank you!" and give it to them like that. no one has had any issue so far.
