An introduction
Hullo, I'm Max and I'm trans (I'll pause for the AA-style chorus of 'Hello Max'). Okay, ice broken? Sweet. I'm 23 and from Ontario. I came out as trans a few years ago, but due to my living situation and general mental state, I was only able to actively pursue my transition at the beginning of last year. I'm on the council for the local chapter of Pride, but other than that, I haven't actually been involved in the trans community or met many other trans people.
In an effort to reduce the clutter in my life, both physical and mental, I've created a new journal, since my old one was started long before I had the tools to recognize that I was part of a greater crowd of people who just didn't fit with the very slim, defined box that society presented, and it held a lot of bad blood, towards myself and the world at large. So. Fresh start, and I wanted to actually reach out to talk to other people.
So, here I am, and hello!
And as a bit of a side note, if there are any other transguys from Ontario who are having a bit of a nightmare navigating the bureaucratic mess that is Ontario's transgender* policies, feel free to drop a message in my inbox and I will do my very best to help you out.
