So I have been reading and responding to the comments. I am always amazed at who reads this blog. This has been my therapy and my way to pay it forward to a community that has given me a whole new world (sing the song I did). I read and try to respond to everyone’s comments and messages. These things mean more to me than you can possibly know. I appreciate the love.
Sincerely,
Seth

Hi Seth,
I’m AJ and I just came out as FTM Dec. 14th and I found your blog searching the internet on transgender. I’ve watched over 200 videos on top/bottom surgery and have read so many websites and I’m still not sure of who I am.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and I love this blog site, so I joined, can you please let me know how to add a video, thanks. :0)
Happy New Year.
AJ
AJ,
Congrats on coming out. Thank you for the love. This is my personal blog and I don’t have anyone else’s stuff on here but my own. I can add your stuff to my helpful links if you would like? I know they do collab channels on youtube and tumblr.
Good Luck,
Seth
Hey Seth, sure you can add what ever you like, not sure what that means though-LOL-but I still would like to know how to add a video to my page. I joined this same site as you did: wordpress.com and it too is my personal blog and I would love to add video to it like you have, so please show me how – Thanks :0)
I decided to do this blog in hopes to offer any information to those my age transitioning or not transitioning, just a place they can come chat if they like. *Smiles*
Hey Seth
Just found your blog.
Interesting read to see someone else going through this.
Thanks for putting something like this up as there ain’t a whole lot out there for transmen.
I am just starting out. My Dr says just start shaving, won’t start me on T until I am really sure.
Dr is worried about my age, just turned 46, ya a late bloomer it seems.
2 months of shaving and I have a heck of a mustashe filling in and a thin goatee.
Not sure I willl go all the way. But exploring my options.
I have never seen myself as a woman. But then I never got exposed to things girlie. So no clue.
Problem is I need to move out of this small town and get to a larger centre so I can be me. Or figure out better who/what I am.
A few folks that I have come out to, who I thought could deal with this as they are very involved in the whole alternative thing….have freaked out and are saying “So this means your gay now” because well I am still dating guys. Shrugs oh well….
Carlos,
I’m with you in that small town. I write this blog for guys who don’t have a support group. I was lucky to start in a town with support group. Those brothers mean the world to me. So were some of the brothers I found on YouTube.
Your doctor I know is being careful, but I think 46 years is long enough time to decide who you want to be. Late bloomer, I doubt it. If there is one thing I have learned in doing all this NO ONE WILL HAVE THE SAME STORY AS YOU! And you know that’s ok. I think it’s great no one has the same story as me. But there are similar ones. Keep looking and you will find someone. Chaz started at forty and no one seems to give him grief.
Being in a bigger town will help. Seeing other people who are different in states of gender, sexuality, or whatever put my mind at ease. Being in San Diego this past summer, really helped me. I saw a lot of different people. I realized I’m just a handsome southern gentleman. And you know that is enough for me. Because that’s what I want to be.
No matter how “alternative” people seem to be sexuality seems to still freak people out. I was a lesbian. Now I’m a gay man. I don’t label myself as that. I use bisexual. I’m reading a book about how society likes to fit people into little boxes of two. When you don’t fit these boxes it perplexes them. Don’t worry who you like to be with. It’s a mutual agreement between adults. It doesn’t matter to the rest of the world. Screw them. Just be yourself and be happy.
Seth
