[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 38376, member: 22"] So..there's something sort of big I'd like to tell everyone, and I don't know how best to approach this, but I don't want to keep it a secret anymore (one of you knows what this is, since we've talked a great deal about it privately). I've been in therapy for a good while, dealing with issues with depression and anxiety and other things that impact my mental health on a daily basis. Something that has always been a part of me for as long as I can remember, and yet something I've fought hard to repress is the hardest thing I've ever confronted in my life. I've struggled to come to terms with it and accept it, struggled to accept the inevitable baggage that comes with it, and struggled with the prospect of losing people because of it (I already have, those experiences were unpleasant), but I realized that if I'm ever going to have a chance at being happy in life, I need to accept this, be myself and live my life as I'm meant to be. So...here we go... I know I'm perceived as a bit of a pervy guy, totally obsessed with boobs and perhaps a little too focused on the womens. Well, that's pretty true, I am those things...sort of, but I'm also something else. I almost let it slip a while back when [USER=180]@Lady Grey Leaf[/USER] came out and announced her transition, but I kept it in. I'm not sure why, as I said, I guess I just haven't felt comfortable talking openly about this because it's one of those issues that not everyone is comfortable with, and I respect that, but I guess I just wasn't ready to potentially lose anyone here when they found out that...well, I am also a trans woman. I'm the same person as I always have been, still completely boob obsessed, still a complete post whore, and still a proud male lesbian...just...without the male part.
