Hi all,
For some reason, I've been lurking on the periphery of TG sites. The reason being that I recognize similarities to myself. Something I didn't want to admit to myself, at least until recently. So here's a little about me. If I had to put a label on me, I would say androgynous. People have asked me am I gay or bisexual (never if I am `straight') and I always answer no, I'm not. When it does happens, I can fall for a particular individual. The thing is, they could just as well be in a (rarely) male or female body. I do know I don't present stereotypical male behavior, which upsets some people. I was brought up in a culture that frowned on any kind of gender variance. so I learned to present an act in front of other people. Trouble is, it kind of makes me feel disconnected and detached from those around me. So now I have decided to stop pretending to be what I am not. I do feel I can relate more to gender variant people. Sorry if that comes across as a little too patronizing.

Hi, Geniebot. Welcome to the site. You're in good company...I expect you'll find some things in common with quite a few people here.

hi,
Feel free to ask questions. You don't have to lurk anymore. It's nice to have new people.

Hey Geniebot! (^.^)
Welcome to the forums. I'm new here myself, so there are many people here I don't know well yet. I hope you can find what you are looking for and be comfortable with yourself, as many of us here feel and want.
