Title: this is very new to me
Post by: Hauser on June 08, 2010, 06:20:00 AM
stumbling on this place and discovering that im not the only one like me.

Ive never met, heard, seen, spoken to or otherwise been aware of in any way of people like me.

Im not a girl(well..i have boobs and the associated naughty bits that come with them)...and im not a boy.

Im just.....thought.

Its nice to meet you all.

Hi Hauser:

Isn't it depressing to find out that you're not unique? >:-)

Welcome.

lol..actually the opposite...ive been getting very very tired of being told "you're just confused" or "you're bi, get over it" and stuff like that. its actually a massive relief.  :)

Welcome to Susan's. Pull up a chair and get comfy, I'm still new but I feel at home here. It's very nice to hear of others like yourself, isn't it? Just existing is perfectly fine, too. I could go on and on about philosophy/opinions on that, but I won't. xD

Welcome to Susan's! Plenty of us not-a-boy-not-a-girls here! And don't feel shy about contributing if you think of something. Then again, just reading is fine too! Hope you find it interesting.  ;)

Welcome to the first step.

It gets a lot more difficult from here.  :D

i dont know if its the first step for me.

im completely comfortable in how i view myself. the lack of understanding by the people around me is a little...annoying. but ive always felt this way. like..my interests and hobbies run the gamut from the very male to the very female and everything thing in between. like i collect throwing knives and make knitted purses as two examples..

Im not attracted to physical bodies. like..ive never had the experience of just looking at someone and thinking they are attractive. it doesnt work like that. im attracted to thought...like for example i find myself physically interested after reading a particularly innovative scientific work. or having a lively political debate online. like..its kind of weird to describe...so im not gay or straight or even bisexual.

and i do the black tshirt, camo pants and high heeled boots more often than not. im physically feminine in appearance to most people but it just..sort of doesnt matter...

i guess you could say that im "null gender". neither..i superficially look and behave as an androgynous bisexual but that's so far from accurate.

like...you have a mental picture of what you are really like right? for some its the opposite gender to their biological sex. for others its the same gender to their biological sex. for still others it fluctuates..

for me..my mental picture of myself is...liquid fire. pure light. electrons and protons and neutrons whirling around in space. no body. without a "mental body"..gender associations are kind of meaningless.

That's very zen and existentialist of you!

I totally understand what you're saying, though. The concept of 'who' or 'what' I am seems to be a very primal thing when I boil it down to the basics. I fall in love with people, not with genders, etc.

I hope you have a good time here. :p

Hi Hauser, :icon_wave:

Welcome to our little family. Over 4800 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another andro. :icon_hug:

And be sure to check out these links ( MUST READS )

Hugs and Love,
Janet

Of course, it's another home outside of home. And, like Janet Lynn commented, welcome to the family. I'm new, too, and I already feel at peace.

Welcome.
Let me just say if it does not offend anyone here, that the abnormal ones are the ones not like us
