I have to admit I'm not a fan of the whole "verify that you are a REAL person" process on here, but I understand that online spam can be a problem.

I don't have contact with my biological family, and I'm certain they'd be rude and judgmental about it, but everyone else I've met has been supportive and wanted to know more. Most could relate in some way. Everyone has to do what's comfortable for them, but living "out" feels much better than hiding for me. Thanks again for your compliments, and welcome again to the site.
Welcome! Thanks for joining!
