ORIGINAL: treelistener There is definitely a lack in the gender options here. Male, Female, Trans lumps MTF and FTM together, and leaves genderqueer, intersex, and androgynous (and probably others I'm missing) out altogether. Apparently collarme assumes that trans means MTF: if you choose trans, your name appears in pink. I'm feeling kind of invisible. Also, being new here, I'm a little worried about the comment that this is predominantly a heterosexual board. If that just meant that most people on the board are het, OK that is the way it is IRL, so I have no problem with that. But I'm reading the tone of that post as this is a het board, the rest of you aren't worth our notice. Hope I'm reading that wrong. Could be just my insecurities, but I want to know if I'm welcome here or not. my 2 cents: i've been on CM for a couple of years now, and i've never really seen anyone object to another because of their gender or sexual preference. My observation is that someone is liable to have a more difficult time on this side (forums) because of things they say or how it's said. i have no idea what the ratio is between genders and sexual preference..there seems to me to be a wide variety of people, which is what i prefer because it gives me more opinions and things to learn. As the old saying goes... ya can't please all of the people all of the time, and there may be other places someone would be more comfortable on, but that, i hope, wouldn't be because someone felt discriminated against. There are places on here that i don't usually go to because it's not where my interest lie, just like there are places i go first because i do. Anyhoooo...for those that are new here to the boards or to CM in general welcome ... and i hope you'll join in the general chaos that can ensue.. some times it's funny, other threads are sad, but almost always, i learn someone from everyone who joins in.
