Hi!

[Tayley]

Well, er, hello :3
My name is Tayley, I'm a young person living in christchurch, new zealand. I'm a big fan of music, both listening and playing.
I'm currently in my second to last year of high school, though barely. I'm not much of a school person.
I'm not quite sure what I identify as. Somedays being a guy is great, but others I just, I don't know. I guess I'd like to be able to express my feminine side sometime, even though I don't know how.
Anyways, I'm not too sure how often I'll post around here, but I do hope to talk to a lot of you sometime, catch you all around!

Hi there, Tayley.  Welcome from Jamie in southern California.

What a wonderful name. Many of us question our gender identity at one time or another.  Browse the Androgyne forum when you get a chance.

Hi from deepest, darkest Tasmania.

Like Cindy said, I hope the earth was kind to you.
There are a couple of Kiwis on here, so you are not alone.  You are certainly not alone in trying to get a handle on the whole Gender thing either.  When I was your age transsexualism didn't exist, at least not in my part of the country.  Anyone who didn't fit society's template as a guy was regarded as gay and fair game for the homophobes.  I know things are not perfect, but at least we now have forums like this for support and assistance.

Take your time, some people  are fluid for quite a while before they settle on a gender identity, some just prefer not to stay in the one place.  Whatever works for you is okay.
You are the one who has to live your life, so unless someone who criticises you is prepared to die in your place they have no right to tell you how to live your life.

Karen.

Hi Tayley,

Welcome to our little family. Over 6656 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another member.

Hi welcome to Susans!

Heya,

I hope this site helps you work out exactly who you are or what you want to be 
The final years of High School are daunting enough without the added pressures of worrying about your gender, so you have my sympathy. Have you figured out what to do when you leave school?

Hope everything becomes clear to you,
X

[Tayley]

Thanks for the welcome :3
and I haven't put too much thought into what I'll do after school, though I do have a plan for a business I'd like to create...
it would be a dream to get into something musical though, for sure!

Enjoy your stay, Tayley.
