Scared to exist but being brave
I've never done something like this before but the first time has to be some time, right? It's been a long, hard road. I've had a very tough and strange life but I am happy to say that for the first time in my life I am excited to be here on this planet with all of you! I don't have any family or a partner to share this celebration of myself with but rather than feel alone I am trying to consider it is as merely a matter of having not met my future family yet. Will you celebrate with me wherever you are until I meet them? :)
My name is Conor. I live with my best friend and our cat Momo (my other best friend who I'd jump out of a plane for) in Seattle. I moved from rural Tennessee after I finished my bachelor's degree in social work in 2021. I am not currently working in the field and have no plans to return. I've been transitioning since 2023, been on HRT since June of 2024. This is the first photo of me on the internet as myself. I hope I am handsome! I hope I look friendly, I try to be. I hope my smile is good. Is it silly to care about impressions at 33? I am still recovering from tailbone surgery (down to the myofascial level with nearly 40 stitches!) I had on February 17th - I had to get a skin graft which has given me some experience with nerve reconnections that I am hoping will be beneficial to me as I will be getting top surgery next year and already have plans for phalloplasty.
I love music, D&D, dancing, anime, animals, video games, film (watching them and I'd love to make them), art, history, reading, crocheting, cooking (I've been cooking since I was 5), exploring nature and traveling. I am a beginner violinist (2 years of lessons) and have been a vegan for 10 years as of this year! I have been in the punk and alt scene since I was in 4th grade and love exploring fashion within that space. I have many tattoos and piercings planned for the future! I love meeting new people and have been working on trying to build mutual aid and community connections.
Thanks for listening to a little bit about me! If you want, I'd love to know about and celebrate you too. I hope all of you are doing well, are safe, and loved <3
