MTF's and FTM's.................?

I am an FTM transperson, and I want to thank you for sharing your feelings. I am only 17 and have not physically transitioned yet but I have emotionally transitioned. For my 18th birthday my mother is paying for me to legally change my name and I want to get top surgery so I'm going to work for a while before going to college. I'm really scared, but I'm excited because I know I'll feel so much better after everything. So thank you for sharing. Your words have made me more optimistic. =]
