I'm not entirely sure where to begin, so I suppose I'll just spit it out. I'm just about 25, and am biologically female, but consider myself male. Pronouns? Whatever. Male or female, it doesn't bother me. I prefer male, but I'm not going to snap at someone if they use female since I'm still confused about things. I sort of started figuring that things were off last December due to a variety of reasons. I role play. You know. Writing epic stories on forums and the like. Anyway. Having always played females, I chose to play a male. Given that the place I role played at ostracized people who played characters with different genders than their own, I came up with a male persona. Initially, it was no big deal, but as time went on, I started realizing that it started feeling "right" and I was spending more time on that particular screen name. I've mentioned my views to a small handful of people, and they've been accepting. One was a role playing friend, and he was flat shocked, since he had always thought I was pretty masculine. Which fits because I've never been feminine. Dresses, make up, heels? Ewno. It also explains why I've never liked my appearance. I've tried to make myself look more male by cutting my hair, but all I've managed is to look like a pre-pubescent boy, as one friend said. Kinda sucks being short and petite. So, yeah. That's the short notes on me. Took a lot of energy to even join up and post this. I don't really know if I'll post elsewhere. Might just lurk for a bit, I don't know.
Hi there, SL- You've come to a good place. Lurk, post, whatever--do what feels right. We'll be here whenever you need us. --Zoe
