Hey all, I'm a 20-something male from the US doing a little (ok, a lot of) soul-searching over the past few months. I just found this forum a few days ago and already it's been tremendously educational and helpful. I still have a lot of confusion about where I am on the gender and orientation spectrum, but thanks to this site, a lot of the fear and shame has already evaporated. Just reading about other peoples' experiences and feelings and seeing the unconditional support is a huge relief, I've never been in an environment like this. I think I was probably afraid to seek one out for fear of what it might reveal to me about myself. But I seem to be over that hurdle at least! I'm into videogames, webcomics, animation, music, art, I love creative expression and am always encouraging people to give it a try. I've had a lot of difficulty fitting in throughout my life and figuring out what I want, but I hope to stay here a while and offer something positive while I work on myself a little too.
:welcome: to EC! I'm glad to hear that you've found it helpful so far. You'll find that quite a few people here are creative types as well. See you around!
