so, I'm new here.. obvs.
I'd normally hide out from introductions... as my incredible self defeating, though still enormous ego is better experienced through more generalized postings and comments. And I just find these intro things incredibly awkward.
so, my basic description... if we were standing on opposite corners, diagonally, across a busy street... I could be profiled as a tall, slender, twenty to thirty something, white, guy or Sinéad O'Connor in platform boots.
I identify as queer. queer overall, one size fits all, the answer to every census question.
I present as a bloke which really just means I occasionally go a few days/weeks without shaving... I'm generally read as a bloke unless we're speaking on the phone or I'm in a dimly lit mixed (predominately lesbian/gay) club.
Socially, I'm an introverted exhibitionist (figuratively, mostly), more of an info geek than a nerd, and generally a bit eclectic, ever the hipster.
Why am I here? I saw there was an intersex section and thought I'd brave yet another one... just outside of the IS/IG community.
I could get rather ranty on the specifics - oh, it's nothing against this place or that group, I assure you, it's just the sociopolitical ramblings of a prenatally diagnosed
lad that grew up with an IG identity and experiencing the world as an IS variant. While being queer, gender noncomforming and refusing 'treatment' .. didn't make dealing with the majority of the IS community and the predominately parent-ran support groups, service organizations any easier.
So, yeah, I've got a bit of a chip on my shoulder (bigger than 80s soap star diva's shoulder pads)... so, I suppose it would give me one more place to vent, share experiences, meet a few others and fend off my world domination plans for another day.
