We had a thread like this on the other forum, so I thought it'd be nice to resurrect it again on this forum: FSTDT has a pretty sizable LGBT community, and its just fun to say hi and wave to one another. Not that its any secret to anyone on these forums, but I am currently saving up money for my MTF transition. My goal is $20K by the end of this year to pay for chest and FFS (at least for me, gender is from the chest up, at least until I can afford SRS). I presently have $5000 saved -- I should have more, however college tuition is a killer. With 1/3rd of the year over, and with only 1/4th of the money saved up as I'd expected, I'm a little behind my goal -- I'll have to supplement my income with a second job when I earn my degree sometime in August, or take out a personal loan to cover the difference between my expected and actual savings. I am currently having the hair on my face removed by electrolysis, I should be finished with it in 8 - 10 months. Until then, I can't shave until its finished, so I'm condemned to look like a baby murdering pirate for the next 8 months. Right now, I spend 100% of my time in "dude mode" because I'm unable to pass as female in my current state. I am indifferent to the pronouns people use to identify. I've selected a feminine first name for myself, but I can't think of a decent last name. I know for a fact that, given the opportunity to change my name to anything in the world, I will feel compelled come up with a completely awesome, totally bad-ass name for myself. Something like Thunderwitch, Murderface, de Stroyer, or Explosion would be adequate. Alright, that's me in a nutshell. Let's hear from the rest of you

*waves*
Bisexual here. Not that I'm active about it, but regardless, it is what I am. It isn't a secret here, and in reality I'm quite passive about it, so not many people know simply because they haven't asked. Parents know, and they are fine with it, which is always good.
Either way, my geekiness is more of a defining feature of me anyway, so yeah... *goes back to reading manga... naughty manga*

So you're the one who started all this!
Let's see. I'm a woman and 50/50 bi, but as I said on another thread here, that's more of a monthly average than an everyday thing. I've been out all my adult life. It was the reason why I left the Assemblies of God church. My best friend came up with a great phrase for my gender presentation: "femme with working hands." (I always have a "project" going. I love painting things and refinishing furniture.) I am a corny-looking, short, chubby white woman with a penchant for white, turquoise, green, sweater sets, and floral skirts. It takes a while for people to understand just how tomboyish I can be on the inside.
Most people here will learn one thing about me very quickly. Painfully quickly. I am married to another woman, have been for five years, and I think she's pretty damned amazing. She's much more femme than she looks! Since the only places she goes online relate to chess, hockey, or e-mailing her relatives back home in Russia, I make up for it by talking about her a lot. We met between our junior and senior years of high school and had an LDR for 12 years. Our relationship was hot, cold, open (and I dated a local man as well as her for 5 years), and closed. I hope it stays closed forever now.
Some people, gay and straight, ask me why I "insist" on identifying as bisexual, as if I am making things difficult. Well, I loved that aforementioned Ex-Boy until he got angry at me for being unable to carry a pregnancy to term. And I loved my high school boyfriend. (Still do, actually--we've been friends since we were three.) So I honor them, and I honor myself. I know that to call myself a "lesbian" would be a lie. Besides--and this will come out loudly and clearly, too--I do not look at the UPS guys who come to my work or Tony Stewart, the NASCAR driver, like a lesbian! I claim Celebrity Sex Amnesty for him. When I got to talk to him at the Dover track last autumn, my wife reminded me several times that Celebrity Sex Amnesty is just a joke.
I'm actually okay with that.

I'm kinda heteroflexible. I don't find myself attracted to guys in general, but I'm poly, and my current primary relationship is with a married couple, and I've found myself more attracted to him, and by extension, doing more stuff with him as time goes on. He's the same way sorta, but he's a little more bisexual leaning than I am. He's the only guy I've ever been interested in doing anything with, so I'm considering my orientation to be quite fluid as of late.

Bisexual, preferring women (though I'm more interested in the mind than the package), MTF Trans. I'm currently in the process of not repressing being trans anymore, in with a counselor right now. I've got a reputation that I'll fuck anything that moves, but that's more fiction than fact. I'm used to masking my sexuality and gender identity in eccentricity.

Bisexual! But kink is more central to my self-identification; the bisexuality seems kind of like "so?" to me, probably because it hasn't sunk in yet why people other than me would care (it probably won't), and because of my lack of any female partners at any point (shyness, especially given the social inhibition associated with a fairly heteronormative culture, and the fact that most of my female attractions have been purely sexual and rarely romantic, and the fact that I've had a boyfriend pretty much constantly since something like tenth grade).

Well, I'm bisexual too, which is something that I've had reason to mention surprisingly often since I joined this forum :) Sexuality has never been a big deal for me, so it's not something I usually think about a lot, or usually mention to people. But I guess it's always fun when you find a new open and nice environment where you can always feel comfortable to talk about things like that.

Bisexual. Tend to prefer women, yet still a virgin. Terrible kisser, though. I need to practice more.

Androgyne. Been toying with the possibility for a while, seriously considered it only recently, became convinced even more recently. Still closeted offline.

I'm... complicated. =D
To be honest, I'm really not sure how to quantify myself, so let's just say straight-if-feminine male asexual in love with a female-to-male asexual. (Essentially, I'm attracted to girls like crazy, I just don't want to have sex with them. Any of them. Ever. And my partner is an exception, coz I love 'im no matter his gender. Male, female, I don't care. I like him for him.) And I like to pretend to be/be treated like a girl frequently, too.
We'll just call that option "Taimatsu". =3

I'm bisexual. I'm mostly into women, but I do find guys hot, and I like mtf crossdressers a lot. Honestly, to me it doesn't matter much your gender or sex, as long as I like you. Anything beyond what I feel is kind of irrelevant. Also, I've never admitted that to anyone else, ever, even online. I guess you could call this my first stage in "coming out."
