Description
Yeah. This is me.My name is Broderick(Or Bro or Brody whatever you feel like)
This has been a big secret for a lot of people and I am tired of hiding the truth from people.
I am FTM and I should not be scared to tell people the honest truth.
I know many people think that is wrong. But it's my life, not yours. If you do not accept it then please leave.
Though I have told many people, one thing is still a big problem for me. People using the wrong pronouns. Yes I know it's hard and yes I know many of you say "But it's awkward for me to change"
But tell me this. How awkward do you think it is for me having people call me a girl? When I am a man.....
It's pretty awkward.
I only ask that you try for my sake because that honestly means a lot to me.
I hate people called a girl because that is not who I am.
I am Broderick Alexander Reece.
I am FTM and proud.

Wow, this is awesome. You're awesome!
I wish I had your bravery. But the world's changing. Maybe soon people wont have to be brave to be what they want. Keep it up Brody ~_~

I'm assuming you mean people who know you and know you're changing.
Not, say, people on the street, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes and no.
It's people I know in person usually but it is also people on the streets.
I try my best to pass at male and it happens a lot but I accept that people don't know for sure so they assume.
But it's really bothersome when people I know at school or close to me continue to say female pronouns.

Understandable if they know you and know you'd rather be called by the male pronouns.
But you got to give the general public some slack.
Not just because they don't know, but because they might eventually get too paranoid to try and even talk to anyone they suspect 'might' be a transsexual, for fear of offending them, or even getting backlash (being called ignorant, etc).
Best thing to do I would suggest is just to correct people when they're wrong and just understand that not everyone's going to know what you're trying to present yourself as.

If somone introduces themself to me as male or female or netural or fluid thats how I'll see them. Or even if I meet them as one gender and it changes I will make the adjustment. I'm not trans but I have a prefered name, but people refuse to use it. Even if its how I introduce myself. I find that frustrating so I dont want to be the cause of a similar feeling to another person. So way to go for sharing this man.

Unfortunately, i know the feeling.

I wanna just..... pat you on the back and give you big hugs for being brave enough to come out and say this, first of all. I realize how scary of an announcement this may be, and here you are. I think you'd be great inspiration for someone out there who's afraid to come out themselves, but want to.
And well, my opinion of you hasn't changed at all, really. I have always thought that you're a pretty amazing person and an amazing artist! I don't see being transgender is wrong, or whatever the general negative stigma of it may be. I'd treat you just the same as I have before I knew, you know? Because you're a person and deserve as much respect as anyone else.
As far as using male pronouns go, of course I'd respect your wishes to do so! I hope others at least make an effort to, as well.
I just thought I'd comment, seeing this post * v * )//////

Don't worry Broderick, I am also FTM. It is hard for me but some day I will cone out and be myself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe in you. It's a really hard step to come out but it's very important.
ANd I hope when you do come out to everyone they are supportive and care.
And of course if you ever want someone to talk to, I am there. Even if you don't know me I always try to help others in the same situation.

honestly, people who pull out the "But it's awkward for me to change" excuse are just lazy, it's not that hard to say "he" and "him" over "she" and "her", stop being lazy fucks and try >:I

Thanks so much. That means a lot to me.
I was really scared to tell people but I think this is a good thing to do.

Its scary, but you shouldnt be scared because its who you truly are, and its who everyone has known all along after all, you didnt change people when you want to tell people. Good luck on your journey

👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Pardon me, but it is your sex that is changed, if you feel the need to transition, you are already that gender.

I know I'm just terrified of doctors I don't mean to sound stupid

It's a really scary thing but if it is right for you then you will eventually overcome that fear

i just rather stay a female and cover it up because i have a huge fear of doctors on needles and heard its the only way to get testosterone in your system owo
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Uh, if you're more afraid of needles than killing yourself out of depression from lack of transition.. well, you AREN'T transgender. CONGRATZ.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Actually no there are other ways too.
There are pills and patches for testosterone. Injections are just the most effective but you can do it other ways too.
