Hello! My nickname here is Almond and I'm new. I've lurked around on and off for the past few months, trying to work up the courage to make an account and finally make a greater attempt to reach out to the LGBTQ+ community. I apologize ahead of time if I make any mistakes, turn into a giant pest, or simply fall silent for long periods of time. Anyway, as for a little background I'm a 16-year-old biological male from the northwest part of the US and I've felt uncomfortable in my own skin for several years now. Long story short: I'm coming to terms with the possibility that I may be transgender or fall somewhere else on the gender identity spectrum, as well as currently questioning my sexual orientation. Sadly my uncertainty, anxiety issues and things like a lack of a positive support system, a poor relationship with my parents and an unstable living environment keeps me from coming out in any form outside of the relative privacy I have online. Despite this I would really love to interact with other members of the community and my goal this summer is to experiment and try to find a better understanding of who I am as a person. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my long and drawn out intoduction.
