    Hey there lovely people! My name is Alex and I have a whole hunk of lifestory just following me around. Let me break it down for you.

    I was born with all the bits and bobs that make doctors go 'it's a girl!'. An influx of pink sparkly things and a few birthdays later and I grew into one heck of a cis heterosexual look-alike. I look like a female and sound like a female (actually, I think I sound more like a squirrel on narcotics, but that counts as female where I am). I look the part, sound the part, nothing out of the ordinary except being some kind of Amazonian warrior and making enemies out of low hanging tree branches. Where's the hitch, right?

    The hitch is two little letters on the end of my name. 'ia' - who knew a pair of vowels could cause so much pondering?

    See, my personality, my interests, how I present myself, it doesn't match up. It's not that I reject my physical sex - to me my body is simply the avatar I use to interact with the world and nothing more. It's more how inaccurately I'm treated every day which doesn't quite line up with whatever the heck my gender is.

    I think I might be bi-gendered, although don't quote me on that. I feel like a male with some female tendencies more often than not. It's not intense enough for me to need to change my physical sex, however I do need to give some real thought to my mental gender, because that little voice in my head that questions everything is getting on my nerves.

    So, there's my little wall of confusion. Sorry about that!

    It's cool to meet you anyhow, and I look forward to getting to know you all a bit better.
    Alex. :thumbsup:

    Cheers Juggalo, great to meet you too.

    Hey Lovely Lesbian. Liking the rainbows - have you ever watched Rainbow Brite?

    Cheers Brad :slight_smile: Awesome grumpy cat. I've got 3, they're pretty tolerant of me by now.

    Thanks Butterfly!

    Thankyou Azumarion. :slight_smile:

    Cheers Shea. Your avatar is awesome.

    Hey there spitfireXsoarin! You're not wrong there! It's not really been an issue for me until recently, mostly because people wrote my behaviour off as just being a kid. I'm glad you managed to find yourself! Thanks for the nice welcome.

    Hey TheFSM!

    Hello! I'm quite masculine also, and low hanging branches smack me in the face all the time too.

    Thanks Maverick! Cool name. I'll make sure not to hang out with you during the zombie apocalypse!

    Thanks FireSmoke, great to meet you.

    Ahh, you know just the right things to make someone stay CuteZhemn!

    Hi Gates, thanks for the warm welcome. You look great!

    Thankyou deejay! And thanks for the wonderful advice too. Hopefully being here will help me figure it all out a little.

    Hey 101DeadRoses, really interesting username! Ahh, yes, the never ending battle of limbo or go around. I'm curious, are your ring fingers longer than your index fingers too?
