Well, I guess I'd better say hello.

    Hello. There, I said it. :slight_smile:

    Well, so my (real) name is Bianca, but to most of my close friends that I've come out to I go by Rhys.

    I'm currently fifteen, and I'm in high school (graduating this year.) When I go to college, I want to major in astrophysics and either double major or minor in linguistics. (I know, weird combination.) I also play squash, and I fence. In my spare time I like to edit good writing, read, and make people laugh.

    In regards to LGBT stuff: I'm relatively sure I'm pansexual. Well, I'm not really certain; I haven't liked a guy for a while, while I've liked more girls recently. Perhaps my childhood conditioning is trying to hang on to the last vestiges of "straightness" :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: but as I said, probably pansexual. Gender: I'm biologically female, but on the "gender spectrum" I'm in the middle, closer to male. Occasionally I think I'm fully male, especially in the presence of true females (I feel so crude and...fake...around real girls...) but around true males I feel comparatively "delicate" and girlish. I don't think I'd be completely comfortable being male, but I think I'd be happier. I use male pronouns around my close friends. (It's odd, because I'm rather small and thus delicate-looking, and though not attractive by any stretch of the imagination nor "developed" as much as other girls, I look more like a girl than a boy. My voice is low, though.)

    Wow, that was almost like a rant for me. Okay.

    Well, glad to be here. :slight_smile:

    Hello Rhys,
    Welcome to your new world of best friends. I am fairly new here but I have found that it is a warm and welcoming place that you will enjoy and be free to be yourself in. Congrats on the impending graduation. Have you selected a college yet?

    @Jordash: Haha, I don't know if I'm smart, but thanks for the compliment.

    @Myturn: Hi! Thanks, and a warm welcome to you as well, since you're fairly new. No, I haven't got my admissions decisions back yet (will in April) so I can only hope.
