Smile Hello, my name is...
Tyler.

I am in a Bible College in Michigan and transgendered. I was born male, and still live as one. I am transitioning slowly into womanhood and as secretly as possible for obvious reasons. I am straight, and that can pose future problems, but I am who I am.

I am not sure what to expect from the Soulforce site/forum, but I am here to give it a shot and see what happens.

Nice to be here.

Default Hey Tyler
Welcome to Soulforce.

I think you will find that folks here are affirming of your situation. The embrace here is pretty wide- as wide as wide can be actually. Nothing to fear on that score.

There are other transgender folk here: hang around. You'll meet them.

You'll talk. Make friends. Allies.

Good things happen here- so I hope you will stick around.

Peace to you.

Welcome Biblecollege_girl,

Wow, your life isn't complicated . I know it's hard to be gay in this world, first hand. Somehow, it seems it must be even harder to be transgendered in this world. I wish you the best on your journey.

Yes, do give us a shot. You'll find some people here who can relate to your situation and others who will simply accept you for who you are.
You deserve to be accepted and loved for who you are. You deserve to be respected as the one who knows best who you are.
paul

Welcome to the site, Tyler. I am also transgender and a cross dresser. I have no desire to transition but I know some who are. I pray that your transition will going well.
