Hi everyone,
I've been looking through the forums for a couple days now, and I've decided to come in and introduce myself.
I'm a 20-year-old college student currently residing in Florida. My history with gender identity has actually been pretty stable. Although I'm biologically female and identify as one, I grew up more androgynous than anything, displaying both feminine and masculine characteristics throughout my life; moreso the former in my appearance and moreso the latter in my personality. I've always known that I like men and have never been attracted to women, although a few drag kings I've seen have made me reconsider whether it's masculinity I'm attracted to.
As of now, I'm a part time crossdresser. I've gone out in public as my male alter ego, and have successfully passed most of the time. Being a man on a semi-regular basis is something I didn't realize I wanted to do until recently, after going through a traumatic relationship and then being encouraged by my best friend to allow my masculine side to fully manifest. Now I'm as happy presenting as a man as I am being a woman.
I'll share more of my story later, but that's basically the gist of who I am. I hope to get to know all of you during my time here, and I look forward to speaking with you :)

Thank you.
The name "Orifiel" is listed as one of the Christian angels, though his position and status in the hierarchy is always different with each source. It's a name I use most times in place of my real name and alter ego's name :)
