Title: Hola everybody!
Post by: Jay.Abbas on August 18, 2011, 05:18:59 PM
Hi, I'm completely new here. Decided to do an intro first.

I'm probably one of the youngest people on here. Anyways, I call myself Jay. It might still change, but it is the one that has lingered around for the longest...  ;)
Presumably I am pre everything and am... err... semi closeted (hoping to climb out of it soon, tho, lack of oxygen in here) - let's just say the whole coming out process did not go too well, and it transpired that my parents did not exactly understand what was the big deal with me. In short, the main reason I am here is to really 'get' who I am, and I'm pretty much bursting with questions for y'all.

Frankly, I feel that I'm a guy, but these feelings haven't been around for long enough for me to say this with absolute certainty. So it is time to put my research cap on.

Nothing else to say, I'm afraid, I can't do intros that well anyway ;D

Cheers.

Hey Jay, my name's Clare but you can refer to me by the screen name ^_^
seems like we are in the same exact boat, though reversed in gender  ;)
I'm new here as well and I am doing the same thing you are figuring out,
but haven't done anything to air out the closet >.>
I'm sure though that you can figure out just who you want to be and hope it all goes well.

Hi Jay, it's nice to meet you! You're going to love it here, and you'll look good in our library with your research cap on! Check out the wiki section for a goldmine of information. Hmm, there ought to be a staffer along shortly with a copy of the rules. Have fun, hugs, Tracey

That'd be me, then :). Hey, Jay, and welcome to Susan's! We're a diverse and friendly bunch here (the head count is over 8000) - get into things as slowly or as quickly as you feel comfortable, I'm sure you'll find plenty of support here. As Dumbledore might have said, "Exarmorio!!" ("out of the closet!!") - in your own time... ;D.

Actually, seriously, you don't need to do anything except find out who you are right now, no need to come out as anything but yourself, whoever that is.

And be sure to check out these links for the bobby on the house rules:
