Hi, everyone :icon_bigg I've been lurking on this site for a while and it seems like the people here are really kind. Today, for whatever reason, I finally decided to register... I've known I am not straight since I was around twelve, but I've recently realized that I'm not a cisgender person either. I do not really have an issue with self-acceptance, but more with being accepted by others, especially by my family. I love the resources I find online about LGBTQ issues because they introduce me to new perspectives and help me make sense of what I'm feeling. But sometimes it seems like I am always thinking about my identity (in theory) but never truly expressing it to others in the real world. I get really lonely because, although I know gay people offline, I'm not out to them. Also I do not know any trans* folks, so basically I have no one to talk to about these things. So I guess I hope I can just find some support on this site (or give it to others if needed), and maybe I'll be able to understand myself better along the way. I look forward to getting to know you all!
Welcome to EC! I'm sure you will feel like part of the EC-family very soon x Oh, since you live in NY, USA, it may sound stupid but since there are the elections in 2 days, try to find out who they are gonna vote, if they vote for Obama, then... it might be a good sign x
Welcome to EC Feel free to visit my wall if you ever want to talk about your gender issues. I'm one of quite a few on EC whom I'm sure would be willing to offer an ear or any support I can Have fun here.
