Hello!

[Guest Amelia19]

Hello! So.. I just found this site today and have been looking around for a few hours when I decided I should make an account and the email said I should introduce myself so here I am.

So.. I'm Amelia. I'm 19 years old and am currently going to Devry for a degree in Game and Simulation Programming (GSP).

At first I wasn't sure if the way I felt was right or if I was too young but a few months ago I saw an article about a girl named Kim in Germany who start her ... Journey? at 12 and I was really inspired by it.

This is actually the first time I've ever told anyone.

I think my parents would be okay with it. Since I've never had a boyfriend or girlfriend my mom thought I might be gay and has told me numerous times that it was okay if I was. I would hope that still holds true to this situation as well.

All of my friends seem pretty excepting of people. I'd like to talk to my best friend Chris about this if I can get up enough nerve when he comes back from basic training.

Umm... I guess a little about what I like now... Hmm...I like playing computer games and... watching anime. I also Tabletop Role Playing Game with a group of my friends (Female characters of course )

So.. I guess that's all I have to say for now. Thanks all for listening!

Hello Amelia!

Welcome to the Playground!

How about some nice hot chocolate and some cookies while we talk....OK?

The fire feels good, don't it?..I sure like it....and I think you'll like it here with us..it's a place where you can be yourself and no one will be mean and you'll be safe because we keep it that way!

So...going to learn simulation game making?....Good...

Well...enjoy yourself and just wait a bit and some of the others will be here to say "HI".

Welcome to LAURA's

Yeaaaaaaaaa

You have just found a great place to be. Two of my good friends have already said hello and a big bunch of others should be here soooooon.

Lotta people JUST like you here - and a lot about your age, and they can help you discover more about yourself. You DO need to tell your parents, Be careful in telling too many others at first until you see what is going on, gender dysphoria is complicated.

So WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

Hi Amelia, welcome to the forums.

19 is not too young, definitely, though it's still a good thing to transition early and 19 is pretty early in North America (Thailand kathoey transition younger, but are literally culturally encouraged to do it).

My parents also thought I might be gay. Until I came out actually. I came out 4 years ago. I transitioned 3 years ago.

I also like anime, computer, console and tabletop games.

I'm playing a tabletop with a friend and his housemate and some of his other friends.

I'm playing this petite girl healer-type character who has much of my child persona's traits. And a very cute pony (I joked to my friend's housemate that my pony was prettier than his horse, we rolled dices, and it turns out my pony IS prettier ) to boot. She is only 4'6" and 65 lbs. 16 years old but appears 9 (and ages 1 year per 25 years). It's not D&D, I'm not sure of the game name.

That sounds fun, The game I play is called "Exalted".

I play a fairly creepy looking (blood red hair with jagged teeth) "necrosurgeon" (Like necromancers but more scientific) named Riina, I even resurrected myself a daughter <3

Even tho she's a necrosurgeon I try to be nice to people. Being mean gets you in trouble excessively fast in exalted.
