IMPORTANT...my confession.

Sat Aug 13, 2005, 5:45 AM
You know what....I just have to tell everybody something. It's an issue that's been a weight on my chest for a while now...I've even lost sleep over it. So, here it goes: I am actually female. I do sincerely apologize to anybody that is dissapointed/mad/whatever about this. BUT if you are one of these things, please hear me out on why I lied about gender in the first place.
I have always pretended to be someone I'm not on the internet. This is because my parents made me a bit paranoid when I started hanging out on the internet a few years ago. They told me all those stories of the kids who got stalked and kidnapped or whatever. I was afraid to give out any info too personal...even what eyecolor and hair color I have. So, I just made it easy on myself and pretended to be male, and having the description of a certain one of my original charas....his name is Aydrien. So when I created an account here, out of habit, I signed up as Male. So no, I did not pretend to be male because I am lesbian(and I don't have anything against them at all). I just did it out of habit and paranoia......so I hope all my wonderful Watchers and Friends can forgive me. I kept putting off this confession because I was sincerely terrified that my watchers might be disgusted or hate me...my hands are actually shaking right now. But I had to tell, I have to let go of this paranoia. I should be myself, so ppl can like me for me.
Anyways...now, whether you choose to turn away from me or not, I will continue to create artwork for my own and everybody else's enjoyment.

If anyone has any concerns or questions, feel free to note me.

This is totally random, since I don't know you... but way back when, my mom made me all paranoid just like this. I ended up retaining my gender, but I'd just give out all sorts of false info. It hurt my friends of several years when I told them the truth, but I'm still friends with them. If your friends are true friends, then they'll stay by your side no matter what. :)

Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

[this is random as well since I dont know you either] but i personally never found it important what gender people had, or what they looked like, or age, etc; especially on an art community. Alot of people get confused about what gender I am, and mix it up alot, but I really don't mind it. And to be honest, before I saw this post [or your sig] I thought you were female anyway, if that makes you feel less guilty. I dont think people will "turn away" from you at all! Like you said, its the artwork they watch you for, right?
:iconfatale16:
Yes, that's what I was hoping for, that it wouldn't matter. thanks Fresh for your support :)

I luv you whether you're a boy or a girl. :heart:

(btw, deviantART still reports you as male in the stats section under your nick)

Question: Why now?

I know it still says I'm male. I don't think I can change that.
Why now? Well, this has been weighing on me for a while....i just chose now to do it.
