A Friendly Hello.

[Guest Sephora]

Hello everyone!

I'm not quite so good with these introductory topics, so I'll try to keep this short and to the point. I'm new here, obviously. I'm a sixteen year old gay male who is absolutely fascinated by the idea of gender bending, gender roles, cross-dressing, etc. I have so much respect and admiration for transsexuals and the incredible struggle they must experience in finding their true identity. I'm not a transsexual (well, not at this moment, who knows what the future may hold for me ) but I have begun to play around with the idea of gender bending and cross-dressing. In fact, it was a search on different methods of tucking which brought me to this website! Upon arrival I just knew that I had to join. Transsexualism is really the one area of the LGBT spectrum that I have never taken the time to explore, and I want to learn more about it.

As far as name goes, I've been going on variations of Sera or Sephora. Y'all can call me whatever is easiest. I feel a little meh about revealing my real name. So, a little about me. As I said, I'm a gay male. Not out to anyone except a select few friends, but that's hopefully changing soon. I adore writing and design and I'm a huge animal lover.

I look forward to talking with you all

P.S - My apologies if this is in the incorrect forum. I didn't see any specific introductory area in the Teen forum, so I took my chances with posting it here instead.

Welcome to Laura's, Sera.

Many members, especially in the beginning, are confused and conflicted about their gender identity, so

that isn't an issue. We always tell new members that putting a label on oneself or fitting into one

box or another isn't important. What is important is being comfortable with whoever you are and

wherever you are on the gender spectrum.

Please look around the forums and learn all you can. Post your questions or comments and you

will always receive a response.

It's nice to have you on board, Hon.

Hi Sera,

So , hun, stick around , your among friends, Luv, viv.

Welcome to the forums, it is always good to have a new member.

You describe your self as interested in gender bending so it is quite probable that you are trangendered to some degree - gender isn't either or but a spectrum.

Look around and ask questions, you will find your place, no rush it isn't a race.

You are a member of the family now, welcome.

Love ya,

Sally

Thank you all for the lovely messages. This is a very welcoming site from what I can tell.

You describe your self as interested in gender bending so it is quite probable that you are trangendered to some degree - gender isn't either or but a spectrum.

I've definitely given thought to that. There's quite a story to explain it all, but I'll go into that elsewhere on the forum. To summarize it, I know I should be a male, but I'm sort of gravitating towards this grey in-between area lately.

Hi Sera

You posted your introduction in the right forum. All introductions are posted here. I appreciate your forthrightness in how you identify yourself

I can see that you are searching, questioning about yourself. That is OK! As you read all that Laura's has to offer, you may begin to see yourself more clearly. I can see that you are young. May I also suggest that you join the Laura's chat room too I know the young love the chat rooms.

Welcome my dear Sera,

Love

Brenda

[Guest Sephora]

Thank you for the lovely welcome, Brenda. It's much appreciated. I do hope to figure things out a bit by browsing the site.

Hi Sephora,

<<hug>>

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.

The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules.

We have Cross dressers meetings -Tues 8pm est, and Teens-Sat 1pm est & Sunday 8pm est, and you are welcome to attend.

We all look forward to seeing you.
