Hello (for the second time)

[Gendr]

Just a heads-up so that nobody thinks I'm trolling.

I just registered a new account with this username, my previous one was Danielle, which I registered a while ago (I've lurked for quite some time). Since I've started posting recently I noticed that there is another Danielle here who goes by the username "Daniellexo" and I don't want to post something silly which people might attribute to her since I'm still new to accepting myself for what I am and many of my posts may seen somewhat unsophisticated or downright wrong as a result. The Danielle account has less than 20 posts so I doubt abandoning it will cause much confusion, but still... I thought it best to author a post here.

Anyway - hello! Here's a quick bio since I don't believe I've posted one here before:

Me: Bio-guy in my early thirties. Had dysphoric feelings since I was at least 5 years old. Learned how to stuff them deep down and keep them hidden, and have now reached a point in my life where they are forcing their way onto center-stage, so I'm working on dealing with it as best I can. It sucks and I'm glad that the internet is here, along with sites like this one where we can all find one another.

ciao

Well, welcome again.  I think you can make a request to a moderator to change your screen name.  You might even be able to do it yourself - I'm not sure because I never thought to do so.

[Gendr]

Thank you Jamie D,

I tried but couldn't find an option to do so - and my post count was too low to allow for PM's (including sending them to moderators), so this seemed the most reasonable choice. It's a shame that the forum need this high of a barrier to ward off the undesirables; but oh well, c'est la vie.

Well, there you go.

Yes, they try to ward off undesirables, but somehow, I snuck through!

Hi Gendr, nice to have you back! Get busy posting and I'll see you around! Hugs, Devlyn

[Gendr]

Thanks everyone! And Cindy - yes, if you could just change the name on the old account for me that would be wonderful! Thank you for offering to take the time to do that for me. My old username is "Danielle" - I'll log in with that account and make another post to this thread to prove ownership and hopefully make it easier for you to take care of.

[Danielle]

Here's the original account.

Thanks!

Hi Danielle,

And welcome back  Hey you know it costs extra to be swapping accounts round like that   Things just happen so quickly here my heads in a spin (So what's so unusal about that? Seems Catherine is like that MOST of the time  )

I'm just glad you have chosen to acknowledge those repressed feelings. It'll do you the world of good to bring them out into the light. Apart form that, if you hadn't, in about 5 years you would have swollen up so big you would have exploded. (Not a pretty site, trust me)

Keep moving forward and keep in touch.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
