Starting out

Hello guys, this is my first blogpost. I'm not yet sure what to write, so I'll just start with a brief explanation why I started this blog.

Some time ago I finally came to terms with myself being transgender, and actually even transsexual (as I really want to live full-time as a man). I'm not quite out IRL though (I'll explain the "quite" part in a future post), and I just feel like I need to get some things off my chest. Just to have them not on my mind anymore.
So basically I'm writing this in a therapeutic sense, but would also love to help transpeople who are going through the same as I am, or even cispeople who are open to learn and want to know more. I genuinely believe that the MAJOR cause of transphobia has to do with ignorance! Cispeople simply don't understand us. They are confused as HELL about someone doubting something 'elementary' as their gender, something which THEY never even THOUGHT about, let alone doubt it.
Chances are my drop in the ocean will be very small, but even if I can just help ONE person, be it another transperson, a cisperson, or even myself, then this blog has had some use at least.

So now you know why I'm writing this.
My name is Erik, I'm pre-everything (even pre coming-out!), a crazy fantasy and roleplay geek, a lover of nature (and soon-to-be biologist!), music, and free-minded, hippy-hearted people (and I'm one myself too! :P).
