Hello everybody.
Joined this site a while ago, but didn't get around to posting because I was focusing on setting myself up at a couple of dating sites and Motherless.com, an image and video sharing social network (NSFW).
Anyway, out of the two dating websites (TransGenderDating (1) and TSDating (2)), I preferred (2), because at least they allow you to perform advanced searches and to set up a detailed profile, but they never verified my profile pic, even though I followed their nonsensical rules to the letter, and now they've actually deactivated my account, don't know why. Annoying, I put a lot of effort into it. (1) feels okay, but their forum sucks and nobody seems to know how to read.
I've felt like a girl for as long as I can remember. That is to say, I have never felt like a boy, and I certainly don't feel like a man now. Comfortable in women's clothing, loved dressing up as a child, wearing men's clothing feels as if I'm in drag.
I do like my mind.
Wish I could pass. With a lot of effort, I can manage, but it takes so much work.
Don't like other people all that much. Most of them strike me as stupid, boring, unimaginative, and brutal. Apparently, I'm hypersensitive, judgemental, and demanding. It's a defence mechanism, I've learned the hard way that people will try to screw me over if I let them, so I've hardened myself.
Bit of an Aspie, bit of a hypomaniac. Hopelessly romantic, enjoy reading books on neuroscience, quantum physics, and a bit of J.G. Ballard in between. Favourites on the web include Hacker News, Less Wrong, Daring Fireball, those kind of places. Wil Wheaton's site, too, although I only discovered that recently. If I were an anime character, I'd be Haruhi Suzumiya, although it feels a bit more like Hinamizawa around here sometimes.
Thinking about plucking my eyebrows a bit more. They're based on Emma Watson's, at the moment, but because my facial structure is closer to Keanu Reeves', I believe I need to create more of an arch.
Maddie.

Hi Janet,
Thanks for the warm welcome. :-)
Will do, sis.
Whew, you know, I thought I got permabanned yesterday (was using TOR, didn't know that was a problem), even emailed Susan about it.
Cleared out my cookies, problem solved. Yay!
In retrospect, that should have been my first move. :embarrassed:
Hugs,
Maddie
Hi Maddie,
A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in and start talking.
Welcome to a high maintenance gender. Being a woman is hard work, just in appearances alone. ;D But I wouldn't have it any other way. :laugh:
Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
Welcome back Maddie. Hope you join in the discussion this time around. The people here are wonderful.
Hello and welcome from another of the Aussie sheilas. :)
I have no idea what the Anime stuff means, ??? but you sound like my sort of girl ;). I am sure you will be happy here.
Karen.
