Hey everyone I just wanted to introduce myself. As my username shows I go by the name of Aaron ( even though it won't be my legal name for a long while :().
So about myself I guess. Some people may remember me from last year when I joined, however I was very shy/quiet. I went by the username of Aaron and I had only just come out (kind of). I was young and many of you guys gave great advice so thanks for that, I appreciate it alot. However I didn't talk or mingle much on here because I felt less mature than everyone, being only in year 8 :D. Now I'm about to go into year 10 after the six week break, I live in the uk, and I decided that I want to get back in touch with people I can relate with :).
Ill try not going to bore you with a long paragraph so Ill try to be short, however I already failed that plan :D. But anyway I've known since I could barely walk/talk that I am a guy and I am trying to be accepted as a guy. I am lucky, because I have a wonderful family who accept me for who I am, even if they do get a little confused by some things :).
But here is my problem I still live my day to day life as a girl :-\. This is going to get complicated... Basically i have a group of friends who don't mind me acting boyish and stuff, I mean there are some idiots who pick on me ,but thats a mixture of being masculine and also being much more intelligent than them ;D. I wear guys clothes, i always have, and wear a hat at the weekend. I pass basically all weekend until someone calls me by my birthname...
I feel like I am constantly doing a juggling act trying to look like a girl at high school and then trying my best to pass as a guy when at home/out. I just want to be me all the time without the constant fear of what other people think. I know it is impossible :D....
My parents bought me two binders and even ordered me a packer today, my mum is totally cool with me getting a haircut too which is awesome.
So to finish off a very very long post, do you guys think it would be best to just fully come out? Im sick of feeling fake and like I am acting to keep people happy. Also if I did come out do you think i should stand up to any bullies or would it be worth my while to move school and start afresh? You know, let people get to know me for who I truly am and not just that kid who wants to be a boy.
If anyone reads this or even replies Ill be more than grateful, whether you have useful advice or not. ;D

Also, Jamie D I think I might have replied to you message via email but I'm not sure if it would have worked because I am a new member and I am unsure whether I am allowed to do that yet. :)

Hi Aaron ,
A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in and start talking.
Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
