Title: From Lurker To Post
Post by: no_one on March 08, 2019, 12:05:25 PM
First I just want to say how thankful I am for this board and both IRC and Discord chats.  I lurked the forums here off and on for a few years then I finally created an account and after selecting MTF in the account creation process it scared me away for over a year.  I of course came back to forum lurking and eventually worked up the nerve to join IRC chat and then a gender therapist.  So I guess I'm not a lurker anymore here? 

Anyway I have had a chance to chat with a lot of amazing people here so far and have made making progress on figuring out what terms I want want to live life under a little easier.

It makes me so happy when people go from lurking to posting.   :)   Nothing wrong with lurking - it is a great start but by posting you can get so much more from this.  Accepting who you are is the important thing.

Transitioning or living as non binary or occasional cross-dressing wherever someone is on the gender spectrum isn't the point.  The point is to live authentically - without fear - to be who you are.

Welcome to that journey.

Thank you everyone!  I look forward to posting more often and getting to know everyone.  Yes, I did create my account in 2014 and that one little selection of mtf scared me to death to admit it.  But with a therapist and the help here I hope to live life on my terms..whatever I find those to be.
