James here :-)

Hello everybody!
My name is James and I'm 20 years old from Wisconsin.
I've been living as male for oh, about 2 years now? I'm pre-op and pre-T since I hopefully plan on joining the Air Force sometime soon. Just been too lazy to get down to the recruiter
Earlier this year, my world was shattered when my girlfriend of over 2 years cheated on me with a guy I worked with, a guy I thought was my friend, a guy that I looked up to and wanted to be like. They are now dating and have moved to California together. It still hurts me every single day and I struggle to keep my mind off it.

But enough of that depressing stuff.
I'm just a typical guy. I like video games, watching the Packers and Brewers, drinking every now and then, big trucks, rock and country music, and reading.

Well, I guess that's me in a nutshell.

`How do the armed services look at trans people? Is that all right?

I'm sorry to hear about your break-up, James.

What are the big trucks for? Do you four wheel or pull something or are they all for show? :p

`I believe the armed services aren't too friendly about trans people. I know a few people on facebook that are in the service and trans but they have to hide it and it is something I am willing to do. I've wanted to join ever since I was little and also because of my grandpa, whose name is also James

And big trucks are just cool. I'm a little bit of a country boy but sadly I don't own a truck yet.
Ok well maybe if I had one, I would be over compensating haha

That's unfortunate you'd have to live as a woman to serve - Are you planning to retire from the military then?

[jimmyjam88]

`Yeah, I have a feeling it's going to suck living as a female but I feel like it might be worth it.
I don't really want to stay in the military but I guess if the option comes up, maybe but I really want to go to school to become a history and psychology high school teacher.
