Hey. My name's Donovan and I'm a transgender teen. My preferred pronouns are he/him and I identify as homoflexible. I'm fifteen and I'm a freshman in high school. I'm out to a few people at school and nobody at home (I was raised Christian, but I'm an atheist) and I joined this forum because I don't really feel like I can relate to even the other trans people at my school. The ones I know of have accepting families and I feel very alone sometimes. But I'm trying to work towards coming out at school so that things can get better for me. I got diagnosed with anxiety, OCD, and depression when I was twelve so that's some fun times  But seriously, I just kinda wanna feel like I belong I guess? I don't really feel that way anywhere I go, not even at school where I'd probably be accepted by most people because I get bullied a lot. So hello, humans!! How are you today? I'm doing rather ->-bleeped-<-ty, but I'm tryna make my day better by joining this forum.

Hello and thank you!

Hi Donovan!

Hey!

Hi Donovan,

  I'm Laurie and I am glad that you are here. We do have some other young folk here and a forum for the younger folk to feel at home in. We try to keep an eye on it and try to make our site and community a safe place for all of us. If you do find someone posting something that is not appropriate, you will find a Report to Moderator link in the bottom right of every post. Just click it and tell us what the issue is and it will be looked into and action taken if need be. Those links Jessica contain some good information that we would like tou to become familiar with so your time here is more enjoyable.
So by all means get yourself in here, take a look around, and join in on the topics that interest you or start on with your own questions.  Welcome Donovan.

Hugs,
  Laurie

Thank you!
