Description I'm sorry I blinded you with such bright colors, I JUST LOVE THEM SO. The original uncolored meme was too dull for my tastes. XD

BUT ANYWAY, yeah...in case you haven't figured it out by now based on the polls, journals, and changes to my stamps, etc. I'm not really identifying myself as a female anymore. I mean, I've always been male in my mind, but just recently have I really embraced it. Even as a little "girl" I had male tendencies. Whenever we played "The Lion King" I would be Simba instead of Nala, or any other form of pretend would have me being the male role or a made up male role. While the other little girls were getting Barbies for Christmas, I was getting a Tonka truck. And at one point I cried, because I thought it was wrong. I even thought I was gay in first grade for playing as a boy. My mom quickly assured me I wasn't since I didn't actually have an attraction to girls, but it still didn't feel right. WELL, now it does. It feels very right. I feel like a boy, and I know inside this was how I was meant to be.

Now, don't go getting excited just yet. I don't intend to get surgery, and I'm still identifying as asexual with an attraction to men. Also, I can't come out totally openly yet, due to my loved but close-minded mother who would undoubtedly love me but not totally accept me. At least not for a while. Of course, whenever I get the courage to stand up to my mom, I will probably slowly start to transition in appearance. I already have a FtM binder from Underworks. I use it for cosplay at the moment, but now it might serve a better purpose.

From now on though, I prefer male pronouns. I understand it is probably uncomfortable since you all have been applying female pronouns all this time, but try to slowly get into saying male ones. XD I won't bite your face off if you don't but yeah...The only exception to this is on Facebook where I still have to pretend to be female or my mom will find out...and I'm not ready for that yet.

That being said, if you do know me IRL or on Facebook, try to refrain from bringing this post up publicly. Like I said, mom is on there ad I will deal with her on my own terms at my own pace.

Also, feel free to call me Johnny. C: It's not important though, I still like Corn and B. Roberts as well. XD Just saying, it's something I'd like to try out. I would have been Johnny IRL anyway if not for biological things.

Umf, TL;DR I'm on a road of self discovery and might need support. XD

I was wondering when this would pop up. And I must say I'm happy that you're coming to terms with yourself. Don't worry about the pronouns, I've had to switch from using female to male before for others and I can for you too.

A bit. But you probably wouldn't notice it unless you've seen someone else going through the same thing.
And you're welcome.

Sorry for double post, but I'm female and identify as such, but sometimes I feel manly, but I don't want a dick... I forgot where I was going with this.

Yeah, it's really hard to define gender and such. I guess you just gotta go with what makes you happy. C:

The colors, they burn my eyes!!!! 6_9

To be honest, I'm kind of glad you cleared that up. I have a lot of transgender friends and really don't like offending anyone by misgendering them. Though, you typically don't use pronouns when talking to a person about said person, but I'm really glad you put this out there. XD

I can completely relate to feeling a lot more like a male than a female in mind thing and, though I wish my transgender friends the best of luck in their transitions, I'd personally rather have a fully functioning vagina than a vestigial penis. Kind of glad to hear there's someone else out there that can feel this way feeling the need to surgically change anything. When I chop off my hair and a customer says 'excuse me sir', I actually feel a lot better than when they call me 'ma'am'.

If you wanna talk about anything, feel free to note or message me on FB. ^w^

I KNOW, sorry. XD

And yeah, I'm cool with either pronouns at the moment, but I would like to start being referred to as a male. Thanks for acknowledging that. C:

I agree with that too. XD I mean, if you do have a need to change your body, that's none of my business. I don't wanna go through all that though. I do pretty good just "cross-dressing" anyway. XD And I know what you mean. It makes me feel good inside to be called by male pronouns. C:

I would rather notes or Skype actually, because my mom is on Facebook and even private messages might get out by accident. I'M PARANOID. XD
