Heya members of the network, subscribers, and other followers of this group.
This is a thread for introductions, to tell the group a little about yourself, maybe a little of what you're looking for and aiming for.
This isn't a thread for full profiles though, that's what IC's full profile system is for!

 Introduction and statement of interest... I'm De, also known as Dennis to my friends. I'm transgendered and identify as genderqueer (that just means I'm not a man or a woman - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genderqueer ). One of my partners is trans also.

Hiya,
I'm Lesley and i'm an alcho....oh shit, wrong group I'm a post op TS from glasgow, I really started my "change" in '04, although I'd been "dressing" for a few years before this, and trying to get my head around the conflict I had had in my head for forever. I've been post op 2 1/2 years now, and it was the scariest and best thing I ever did for myself. Happy with my body now, not so happy with some of societies reactions, but hey, you can't have everything. Lesley x |

Hi everyone, I'm Pen I'm a post-op male-to-female transsexual. Had surgery just over 2 years ago in Thailand. Like Lesley, I'm very happy with the change, but tend to get annoyed at some people's reactions. BDSM and being Trans have always been a part of my life, since I was very young. I think it's cool we have a group on IC. Penwiggle You say Ouch like it's a bad word. |

Hi All, I'm Irene, a male to female post op in my late fifties, had my op on the south coast of england in 2001. I kept the job I had before my RLT, and still have it. Hugs to all, Irene.

Pre op TS that is still officially a man for work and the like, but given that I wear womens tops and trousers, use a shoulder bag as a handbag, well you get my drift! And the fact I've definitely got a cleavage as well might be a giveaway. All of the above of course are androgynous enough that they could be male, but definitely arent. So technically I'm dressing in public as a woman, though whether the authorities would see it that way? Quiet, fairly private, and very assexual, but the latter is certainly a gender identity thing I've had all my life. Will be 10 years next month since... Open to chat, memos and more, but dont expect a wild party animal lol happy volunteer for mind control and robotisation experiments |

Hello all! I'm biologically XX but dislike identifying as gendered, my gender identity is somewhere on the sliding scale of ungendered to genderqueer. I also dislike the assumption that chromosomes and gender are in some way related, I don't think gender is subject to a binary divide so much as a spectrum, and I'm working on a light-hearted thesis that 'geek' is another gender. Mine. I'm often found at the bottom of the dressing-up box, emerging either with a dashing uniform or more often with glitter, sparkles, frills and petticoats, which is deliciously transgressive in a xd-feel way. Because I tend to go for "girl" clothing and I'm not transsexual, people tend to assume I'm cisgendered, and I ID as lesbian unless I'm with a group of people who understand genderqueer / genderfuck. Even though I use 'lesbian' more as a political term for WSW than as a sexual identity, because as a sexual identity it would imply that I do adopt a binary gender divide and that my sexual partners are all picked from one side of that fence, which isn't how I see things. I'm really pleased this group has started up - obviously most perves are heterosexual and cisgendered, so IC can feel rather "straight." A queer space is fab. (Er, I hope 'queer' is okay with y'all. It's my preferred term for myself. I'll edit if anybody dislikes it.) |

I've been a tranny since I was 5, but didnt really start to accept myself till I was in my thirties, by then I was in a nilla relationship and it all got a bit awkward I've never felt like I'm woman, but Ive never felt like I'm a man either. Other people think Im asexual as I dont have any hormones seuxally it really is all in my mind, which makes my sexuality more female than male Ive tried counselling for a few things, but I seem to be too much for them, so right now losing my marriage this year, having limited access to my own children and falling out with my mother after being outed and then finding out shes dying of cancer Im a little bit raw at the moment To be honest I think Im scared to even look inside myself and start questioning the whole gender thing, its too much of a can of worms For now I just dress up and go out and try and forget life, hence why I go out so much So its not a sexual thing for me, but I dont think Im TS at all, but Im not normal either The first rule of Brat Club, we don't talk about Brat Club... |

Hi all im Sophia. I dont use lables and titles any more. I am a woman with mens bits at the moment. After reading post on IC about lables, badges etc the penny finaly dropped. I am simply ME and very proud of being me. I have been out as my alter ego Mark about 4 times in 12 months. And i will not be doing it again. If you want to say im TS/TG thats fine. I choose just not to use them. Happily taken by the wonderfull Daneswood. Edited 19 Oct 09, 2:08 PM by princessl8tex |

I'm Aumentou. I have a variety of other names, but I stick with the internet name on the internet unless I have a really good reason. I was male and in denial, now I'm not in denial and I'm transitioning. When my head isn't completely full of gender and sex and BDSM and feminism I generally fill it with games involving number crunching and tactics. This has been rare recently. For fun I also go out and do consensual non-sexual violence, which has a surprisingly large number of crossovers with BDSM, including similar muscle sets. I'm not full time because I still have facial hair. I get read pretty consistantly at close ranges because I still have facial hair - tiny black dots on pale skin are really hard to hide with makeup. I still have a male legal identity and name because I'm not full time. All these things bother me, but I can handle it. That's all you need to know, really. |
