Okay, well, first, hello everyone.

I'm new to everything, and I've only realised this year. I'm gender-queer.

Well, my story isn't overly interesting, because there's not much to tell. I've always been interested with gender and sexuality, so I already knew some things about it. When I realised what I was, I wasn't particularly surprised. I kind of feel that everybody is forced into a body that is not ideal at birth, but those problems people have differ. My family would be supportive, I know it. I'm the first transgender (that I know of) in my family. I don't think I'll ever have surgery, or change my name. My name is just a name, after all. My goal is to do whatever I feel like doing, as long as it's legal. If I ever have children, I'm not telling my family their sex right away, and I'll choose androgynous clothing.. at least, those are my thoughts. I want to be a psychologist when I'm older. If you have questions, go ahead and ask.

Welcome, Sikhandin!  I think you've found one of the best places on the Web for help with gender and orientation issues.   There are a lot of really knowledgable folks here, friendly and ready to help.

I bet one of the official folks will be along to welcome you shortly. I just wanted to say Hi!
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

Welcome! I agree, the whole nature versus nurture thing and the imprint of gender through our culture isn't fair. If I ever have kids I'll be sure to shield them as much as I can from society imprinting the ridiculous gender norms.

I remember as a kid for me, I enjoyed girly things until ridiculous religion and society told me that was wrong in their opinion.

Anyway, glad to meet someone with similar mindset.

Nice to meet you Sikhandin. I am happy you want to continue your education in psychology as we need more professionals who truly understand just what being trans is about. I think the longer you are on this site the better you will understand gender fluidity and all it entails. I never finished my master's in mental health counseling, I switched programs and became a nurse. On your way to becoming a PsyD. you might want to look at getting you master's in social work or mental health counseling and work in the field to support your doctoral studies.
