    Hey guys. I used to be quite active on EC a lot--some of you older members probably knew me as CrystalRaindrop (now my username is 10x cooler you see?). I joined EC initially because I was questioning my sexuality, then later my gender, and I felt EC was a safe place where I could talk about how I felt with it. I also enjoyed helping other people in the process, and I also liked the friendly and welcoming community EC had, and we could talk about whatever (in the right forum, of course). Honestly, I have to say, while I did say some embarrassing stuff I'll forever regret (lol), EC really helped me in finding out who I was, and I loved the community a lot.

    I gradually went on EC less and less as I'd already discovered who I really was and as my life got more and more busy in the process. After browsing around on Reddit in the LGBT subreddits I eventually decided to log back on yesterday and I got pretty nostalgic remembering how nice this place was. So, I decided to come back!

    For those who don't know me, I'm Maxis and you can also call me Max. My interests include composing, playing rhythm games such as "osu!", lucid dreaming, watching anime, and as of recently, scrolling through Reddit. Since it's relevant, I'll also say that I'm genderqueer (it's not very specific, but I'm comfortable with a 'vague' label), and while I find girls attractive, I can fall in love with anyone if they're nice enough to me. I'm also planning to finally start transitioning soon to be able to pass as more androgynous and feel more like 'me' (I won't do anything crazy or expensive like surgery, at least not yet, but I think I'll be really happy with what I'm planning to do).

    I'm really excited to get back into EC. I know there's a bunch of new members now, and I'm excited to meet you guys! Hope to see you guys around. c:
