    Hey there, I figured I'd take a second to introduce myself to you all. I'm a 19-year-old illustrator from the northwestern USA. I love the outdoors so much it hurts, haha. I'm really confused about what I'd be classified as (sexually/regarding gender), but oh man, that's for a different post altogether. I'm looking forward to finally opening up and talking about it, because I've come to a point in my life where I can't ignore myself anymore.

    Thanks for having me here!

    Woot, another GQ! Even though I don't know my gender yet!! Welcome to EC!!! :newcolor:!!!!

    Out of interest, how do you think the terms "straight" and "gay" apply to genderqueers? I mean, gay is liking the same gender, so that would surely be other gendeerqueers, and straight would therefore mean liking only non-GQ people.

    (I don't normally use this many exclamation points, by the way!!!!!)

    Thanks for the welcomes, all of you. c:

    @fiddledeedee: That's a good question! Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer, but I guess I consider myself 'straight' because I'm physically female (as far as my actual gender, though, it's god-knows-what), and I'm attracted to people who are physically male. I mean, as far as I've experienced. I've actually never been around another genderqueer person, my whole life, haha.
