Hello, I am very bad at both talking to new people in person and using most social media and was pointed to this sub.

I'm a recently-realized butch on the north side. I skateboard and I'm starting a metalworking class this week. I like Chai lattes, pitbulls, and leather, and I work as a web dev.

Pros: I can and will carry things (and You) Can C&R spiders, beetles, moths, etc. Decent at games and can beat hard levels/bosses Can cook and bake pretty well Have my own apartment so I can cook/bake whenever I want I can talk about lots of things with various amounts of detail

Cons: Currently detransitioning, went FtMtF - not everyone's cup of tea, especially with top surgery I only use public transport, I hate driving in this godforsaken city I'm allergic to cats (no one is more upset about this than me) No physical experience with women - recently realized is VERY recent, like last few months recent. I'm comfortable in my identity now! But I also have only been with guys up to this point because it took me a WHILE to realize lol

Mixed: Autistic/ADHD - can be good or bad. I'm very good at picking up on logical stuff, and I'm earnest and honest sometimes to my own detriment. However, I WILL be awkward at first, I WILL forget stuff, and you GOTTA be direct with me Tattoos/piercings - I like tattoos, I have a tattoo on my left shoulder/chest. I also like piercings, and have 6 Kink - I'm into lots of stuff but it's very hit or miss with others and I don't wanna bread sub rules by going too in depth Supportive parents - cool, haven't re-come out to them yet and I have no intention of doing so any time soon because it will be A Mess Very little fashion sense - I'm working on it but this means you can play dress up with me if we go to the thrift store

I cannot emphasize enough that I am a very awkward person when getting to know people. I'm working on socializing myself but I'm still at the "neurotic chihuahua" stage in person. Online is significantly easier for me wrt New People. I'm also very early in my detransition; Things are Happening for sure, but it's very slow going and voice training is a bitch and a half. If we click hell yeah but I'm also more looking for friends than anything else, I don't know a lot of people locally.
