I'm just a person trying to find my way in the world.
This site is part of a project of mine to be more honest with myself. I've spent so much time on trying to make my gender fit my sex - biofemale - because my birth father has always been of the opinion that growing up with a trans uncle, and later with lesbian mothers, has "corrupted" me. (In retrospect, if I have to try to fit his expectations, I guess something there must be a little... different.) There was a time when I valued that opinion simply because it was his, tried to ignore that it was, in fact, complete nonsense. Now... I suppose I'm breaking free, and I'm finding I have no idea what I actually am, underneath all that fabrication. So this is me - finding out.
About wonderful moi: I go by Eli, for now. I'm in a committed relationship with my homework. Outside of that, I like drawing, reading, my GSA, my middle school friends, my high school friends, choir and punk rock.
Good to meet you all!

Hi Eli, :icon_wave:

Welcome to our little family. Over 4600 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 member. :icon_hug:

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

Hugs and Love,
Janet

Hey there Eli, that sounds like it can be really rough.  My family life isn't as complicated as that but I totally understand fearing judgment or a need to conform to your parent's approval.  How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

I put that in my original intro. Apparently if I'm not old enough to buy cigarettes, it's not something you folks need to know. *shrugs*
My life is actually pretty good. My uncle is the best, we're still in touch and he totally supports me no matter what I decide to do with my gender. So do my moms. It's just dad who's... complicated.
Thanks, guys.   ;D
