Hey, I've first came across this site a couple months ago and have been reading through here and there and finally decided to say something.  You should know that I'm 18 male and pretty much addicted to video games.  I feel pretty out of place.  It seems like most people here are far older and already have been through a transition or at least understand where they fit into all these different gender descriptions.  I for one am still pretty confused about it.

When I was about 12 or 13 friends of mine introduced me to a gaming chatroom where people would "cyber."  While I might look back at the idea and laugh now, back then I spent a lot of late night time there.  It was at this time I started pretending I was a girl online.  I don't think it had as much to do with "cybering" as it did the opportunity to be recognized as a female.  As time went on I would continue to long to be a girl.  I would stay up late thinking about it, and even praying for it, if only for a day.  The desire comes and goes, but it can be quite intense when it does.  The problem for me is that I don't really feel bad or out of place as a male, like some might claim, I just experience a strong desire to be female.

When I was younger I would cross dress in my mom's clothes in private.  This really isn't an option anymore though, as there is no way there are any girl's clothing in my house that would fit me now lol.  Part of me always thought I'd outgrow it, and although it actually did subside for a couple years, it would come back.  I should probably also include that before I was born I was expected to be a girl based on my heartbeat.

Anyway, most of you people probably don't want my life story but its just nice to be able to talk about it for once.  So anyways, hi.

Thanks for the welcome everybody.  I've been trying to figure out a way to add a picture and haven't been able to so far.  Can I not do that yet?

You need 15 posts to be able to upload a picture.  It will happen quickly, just don't pat it.  Susan frowns on that.

Hi Roll, I'm pretty new here myself.

You have some company here actually, I'm only 23 and very much a video game addict. In fact I found a thread about World of Warcraft that a surprising number of people posted in. I'm sure once you get a chance to sit down and read all the different areas you will find you are most definately not alone  ;)

Thanks.  I actually spent a good two years playing wow with two 70's and a 67, but I haven't picked up the new expansion yet since my rl friends quit last summer. :-\  I'm a huge fan of blizzard for Warcraft 3 and Starcraft though and will have to pick it up eventually and check out that thread.

Welcome to the site, Roll. There are peple of all ages here so you're among family.

I wrote quite online prior to coming out as transgender and a crossdresser. I didn't understand  what was going on inside of me. Writing did relieve much stress. I was 56 at the time.
