Title: Hello from Cali
Post by: GCGins on July 03, 2014, 04:34:09 AM
So, I am very interested in the Transgender world and even though I am not, I feel like I am Transgender and it is a path I am following because my heart is going this way. I am a 22 year old male who wants to understand why I am attracted to what I like which is M2F Transgenders and whether or not I am meant to be one of just love them. I am scared and want help... Also, don't know how to make an avatar.

Welcome to the family :)

Whilst I'm not sure I'm the best person to help you figure out where you stand I can hopefully help you with the avatar.

1. Click profile in the menu bar.
2. Three buttons will appear further down the page, Hover over the central button marked modify profile.
3. Click forum profile (option 2 in the drop down menu).
4. The first section that will come up is personalised picture, that is where you select your avatar.

I hope this helps, but if it doesn't please feel free to ask more questions :)

Hello from LA!

Maybe this will aid a little bit! Have a look :)


So you are attracted to transgender people and think you may possibly be transgender yourself? There is definitely a grey area there, between sexual identity and gender identity. It is all something you will ultimately need to explore. Luckily you have found a great place to do just that- or at least, talk about it :)

Welcome to the forums!

Thank you for the delightful, sweet responses to make me feel at home! :) So I went to Modify Profile, down to Forum Profile and there is just a  No Avatar thing above Location... :/

And yes, that is the case. I think Trangenders are the most beautiful people in the world, look wise of course but more so... I think I identify with it the most. At least, in my case I have always felt trapped in my own skin and never happy, almost like I am not who I should be, and sometimes I think if I was a girl it would all be easier. But I don't know that I am TG, but there is a connection there and never the less, a transgender woman is what makes my stomach flutter.

If you click the red highlighted text in Jenny's post you will see a list of restrictions which apply before you've made your 15th post. These restrictions apply to making PM's and uploading images.

Sorry, when I made my first post here I had forgotten about the restrictions :(

You're welcome GCGins!

And Falconer nailed it, once you've posted a little bit (15) you can add an avatar to your profile and send/reply PM's. You're halfway there already! Until then the avatar tool option is hidden

Make yourself at home and see you around :)
