Hello! I'm new to the forums. I have been very interested in transgender subject matter for quite a while now. One of the big things that really alerted me to transgender presence is the death of Leelah Alcorn. When I read her last words, I was filled with grief...but also anger. Anger because her death could have easily been prevented in the absence of the ignorance and fear that filled her parents.
The reason I have come to these forums is because after her death, I came to realize that trans-gender support is very important to me. In fact, I've never quite felt this way before, and I am filled with a renewed sense of purpose in my life. Should I be honest with myself and others, I must say that while I am biologically a male with XY chromosomes, I actually feel MORE female than male. I am very gentle and empathetic, yet I am a very linear thinker and am attracted to females only (for the most part). I am quite comfortable in my own body, but I must say that I have had significant inner turmoil over the years of growing up. Part of that is discovering that, while I'm not that different from others, I am different nonetheless.
I consider myself "gender neutral" because I don't like to identify with either sex. The main thing I'd like to get out of being a member here is helping others with whatever gender struggle they are having. I am here to tell people that they are NOT ALONE and there IS a way THROUGH whatever difficulties they may be feeling.
