Corbin’s Biography: Founder of femaletomale.org
Transition Summary
I’m 35 years old and have been on testosterone for almost 14 years. I started testosterone injections January 7, 2005, had chest surgery January 5, 2006, and had a laproscopic hysterectomy/oophorectomy on December 7, 2008. I was granted a court-ordered name in 2006 and later granted a court ordered gender change.
Mission
The resources available on the web, such as the transition diaries of other transmen, were my first introduction to transsexualism in guys like myself. Had I not discovered these websites, it is unlikely that I would have been able to put a name to my feelings of masculinity. It is my hope that this website will benefit others in the same ways that it benefited myself.
For parents, SOFFAS, and other non-transgender visitors, I hope this website clarifies the challenges that transmen face. The support of friends, family, and coworkers is indisputably important to the emotional health and development of transmen. I’ve lost many friends along the way, but it was a sacrifice that I had to make. In time, the misinformation and stigma associated with gender non-conformists will subside.
Education
One quality that distinguishes me from the crowd is that I am research-oriented and persistent. My skill and persistence has brought me great success both personally and professionally. I received my Doctorate of Jurisprudence from South Texas College of Law Houston and look forward to further developing my legal skills so that I can help members of the transgender community achieve their transition dreams in the legal spectrum. I received a baccalaureate degree in English from The Honors College at the University of Houston. In addition, I graduated with University Honors after completing a senior honors thesis entitled “Boys will be Boys: Memoir of a Transgender Childhood.”
Professional Background
Professionally, I have been employed by Baylor College of Medicine at a nationally recognized hospital in the Texas Medical Center for nearly 12 years. I specialize in web and digital marketing. I have over 16 years of experience in online content and media development and am responsible for over 6,000 pages of online content that span dozens of websites. My knowledge in website-building gives me a unique perspective of how to communicate effectively on the internet, which in turn allowed me to create this website to distribute more information to the FTM community.
Naturally,
