I'm Kit. I'm a gay trans man (he/him) and I'm one of the admins here.
My transition started a lot later than many other folks'--I didn't even know I was trans until I was in my late 30s, and then life circumstances preventing me from starting any kind of transition (apart from being out online, which I have been for over a decade) until the fall of 2019. And then came COVID, which really threw a wrench into everything, including my plans to meet more trans and NB folks locally.
In the new year I'm going to finally get going on the paperwork aspects of my transition (changing name, gender markers, etc.) I'm lucky enough to live in a US state where that's not too difficult, but I'm still dreading outing myself to a zillion strangers.
My other hope for this year is for top surgery. If anybody has recommendations, un-recommendations, or other advice about top surgery, surgeons, etc. I'd be grateful. Especially if you know of a GOOD surgeon who is not fatphobic and doesn't impose BMI requirements.
I'm into queer genre fiction (especially featuring gay/bi/trans men) and I've been pretty thoroughly obsessed with Our Flag Means Death since this spring. I also have a terrible weakness for all kinds of older books, TV, and films that are full of delicious queer coding, from Shakespeare to (certain runs of) Doctor Who.
I'm currently making my fourth attempt to read all of Moby Dick.
