Hello. You can call me Freak  Or, if you're more comfortable, Charlie (not my real name). I'm sixteen, though my birthday is this summer. I'm sorry but I really have to say this first and foremost: I'm not a girl. Please use neutral or male pronouns. I'm genderqueer.

I'm an outgoing kind of person, a busy, social teenager who outwardly appears to be successful, smart, and well-adjusted. On the inside, I have emotional issues on top of emotional issues, haha. Some of which, obviously, stem from what happened.

So... yeah. Here I am. I've only told one person, on the internet. I figure talking about it here will help me get ready for the real challenge: telling my family.

I'm sorry but I really have to say this first and foremost: I'm not a girl. Please use neutral or male pronouns, or none at all--anything but female pronouns. I'm genderqueer and I hope sometime in the future, there's a third option added to the gender question here.
