Hi! I'm new. Well, duh...
Just going to say it right off: I have a problem with parentheses over-usage.
You can call me whatever you so please, as long as it's not too vulgar. Right now I consider myself a crossdresser (with painfully obvious feminine hair :(), but when I'm older and slip out from under the "ever-so-watchful" eye of my family, I plan on transitioning from female to male (That seems conflicting, doesn't it? Sorry.). So I guess now I'll tell my story.
I live in a somewhat open-minded town, despite there being a giant cornfield in my backyard (In fact, my Amish friend wants to teach me how to ride horses (I don't want to learn to ride horses at all :-\).). In the area, my high school is known for being, er, a little rowdy, but still having impressive test scores. We're not stupid; we just like our illegal substances. :angel:
There have always been more male role models for me in my family, and (counting half- and step-siblings) I have four brothers. I'm the youngest. Since I was a toddler, my mother has thrown guilt trips at me, saying she had only ever wanted a daughter, dressing me up to take along with her and showing me off ::). Sometimes I wonder if I'm just the way I am to be spiteful, but then I put on a fitted t-shirt or hold a friend's purse for them and it just doesn't come naturally at all. In plays in English class or for Halloween, I always took the opportunity to take male roles, but now I'm realizing I don't want to just "play the boy" anymore. I want to be what I want to be and I don't want to stand around waiting for someone to say I'm allowed to.
As a sidenote, signing up for this site was one of the first times I actually read the terms and conditions before checking "accept".
