8. Congratulations, secret poster! This is the first time I've actually been really able to relate to a secret.

For a long while, I had it the opposite way. Nearly all of my online friends - fandom!friends or otherwise - believed me to be male, for a very long time. This was because of the fact that I presented myself to be that, despite how I was born.

My reasons for doing so are fairly simple: I'm transgender.

Upon coming to the conclusion that I truly was, I dealt with it... and, subsequently, felt less fearful of revealing my identity to people. When it came down to it, it really didn't matter how I was born. How they thought of me took all of the focus, and they thought of me as the person I wished myself to be.

So... what I'm saying here is, secret poster, if you've got similar reasoning, or even something else that is explainable, please, tell the people you're communicating with. Although it's not a lie, it can be hard to deal with at times. I'm sure the people surrounding you WILL support you, if your friendship is strong.

And yes, I'm done now.
