Carnifexiv, 39

A normal guy (pre-op ftm) seeking friends and fun The best way to describe me would be a "passionate gentleman." I love people. I love watching them, thinking about them, wondering about their lives, and making up stories for them. I'm a writer and a musician; I play the violin and love classical music especially, but I'm fond of all kinds of music. I think music is one of the deepest expressions of the soul.

I tend to think deeply about the world, but I can laugh and have fun, and enjoy doing so with like-minded people.

I believe our bodies are just shells for what's really in us. That said, I love beautiful people - women in particular - and I think we all have good in us. Taking the time to understand and really listen to someone is one of the most important things we can do as human beings.

I'm a female to male transman, meaning I was born with a female body but have a male soul and spirit. While I don't yet have the means to get corrective surgery to align my mind and body, it's something I'm working towards. I used to think being a transman was something to be dreaded; now I see that it's given me a unique ability to understand women in a way biological males cannot.
