Just to say Hi

    Hi. My name is Samantha. And that is the first time I've ever called myself that name in the midst of other people. My birth name was Samuel. I was born a boy, fifteen years ago and I am questioning my gender.
    I generally will be asking for advise which I will ask for in later posts. For now I just wanna say hi. I live in Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire. I'm nervous about what's going to happen to me. I've only recently started questioning my gender. Society doesn't like people like us. But I'm prepared to face that. But not alone. I hope to make friends. To talk. To support others. To be supported.
    But anyway. That's all I have to say.
    Goodbye for now.

    Hi Samantha, welcome! It feels weird saying that, as I've only joined a few hours ago myself. My introduction post hasn't even been reviewed by a moderator yet :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    The people here seem very nice and supportive and you can expect the same of me :slight_smile:

    Welcome to EC Samantha :slight_smile: I only recently started calling myself Maya instead of Finn. Weird but awesome, right?

    Peace, love, hope, cake, hugs and justice for all :slight_smile:
