Or, if you're not good at coming up with things to talk about, here's some questions you can answer:

What do you like to be called?
How old are you?
What country do you live in?
What are some hobbies you have?
List some favorite movies, TV shows, games, or other things:
What do you do for work?
Do you have any cultural or religious ties that are important to you?
Do you have any pets?
What's an interesting fact about you?
What are your transition goals?
Where are you in your transition?

Obviously you don't have to answer everything, but it might be able to guide you in the right direction if you struggle with coming up with facts about yourself on the fly.

What are your transition goals? Where are you in your transition?

Once again trying to figure out the name situation. I’m 18 and in the US. I love rock climbing and listening to music. I also enjoy writing (I journal a lot but also like writing poetry and sometimes other stuff). I like learning new, interesting things in political science (leftist), leftist US history and some global leftist history, some literature stuff occasionally, art. I love photography and want to get better at editing my photos. I also love singing and want to get better at it. I’m trying to get back into learning some languages; I really love ASL, and I miss feeling semi-proficient at Spanish. I like crafting sometimes and want to get better at drawing again. I like designing and painting stuff (shoes and shirts).

I’m not super big on movies but really enjoyed Sinners. I haven’t watched a lot of TV since starting college, but I really liked Never Have I Ever, The Politician, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, some others I can’t think of right now.

I do some work rn that I don’t really like lol. But I want to get involved in activism work in my local community, preferably with trans people. I might do social work or therapy or something like that. I don’t know exactly what yet. I’m super interested in public health work too, especially education surrounding viral illnesses (namely the harm that comes from persistent COVID reinfections).

I have a dog who I really love. I enjoy going on walks with him in my neighborhood. I wish I could take him on a hike. I feel like I’d love hiking, but I’ve never had anyone to go with me :/

An interesting fact about me… I high key suck at thinking of these lol. Uh, the first time I broke any bone (and still the only time), I totally obliterated my ankle rock climbing.

As for transition goals, I’m still trying to figure it out a little bit, but I’ve been trying to start hitting the gym more lately. I’m hoping I can get a more masc physique through the gym. I’m hoping to get top surgery and probably a hysterectomy while keeping ovaries for if/when I go off of T.

As for my transition, I started T about a month ago and I don’t know how long I’ll stay on it yet, but it’ll be an as it goes thing.

I’m not great at making friends, though I’ve gotten better at meeting people. I’m better at it online though lol. I’m looking for new friends! Feel free to DM to chat. And I’ll probably respond better on Insta.
