Title: looking for friends & support
Post by: catandry on May 15, 2015, 10:41:57 AM
Hello all. I recently came out as bi-gendered even though i've been dealing with the duality for a long time. I never knew there was a name for it until now. Thank you again google.  :P But what I am really looking for now is some moral support and some friends who understand what I am going through. I'm a pretty good listener so I will gladly return the favor. I also love music, writing, cats, vines, and a number of other humours stuff.

I should note I was born female and my name is Cat. My male persona's name is Ry, who I am currently identifying with. Been male for a month or so now.  :)

I don't believe there is any copyright to the photo i want to use, but i still want to clear it with you first. im still perfecting the way i look as a male. my features are very fem and it's so hard to take that away. lol. so, when im online i use someone identify with as a male. they are from a band and the photos are all over google so i dont think it's an issue honestly. it just really helps me connect with my male side while im getting used to all of this. is that okay with you? sorry i couldn't figure out how to message you privately.  :o

No problem, you can upload it as an avatar in your profile when you have 15 postings but photos posted in a topic must be real photos of yourself

yeah it's just a photo of the lead singer of a band hosted on different photo sights. you know those sights that just have random celeb photos.

V M is correct though you can as an avatar. It's hard to say where they came from and then most importantly photos we post that are not us can cause others pain which is why photos need to be of us in the threads. Hugs.

I like lots of stuff. Panic! At The Disco, Maroon 5, and The Pretty Reckless are my three favorite bands. I will listen to pretty much anything. I like very little country and rap though.  :)

Well, you can post photos of other people such as your favorite musicians, actors, tightrope walking clowns at rodeos, whatever but you can't be claim to be them
