Mezzo Forte Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Well hello there! I feel like I've seen you around on AVEN a fair amount, but I don't think we ever exchanged words. Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyFenton123 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hi guys! Nice to see you two! Mezo, I think I see you around a lot on the gender discussion forums but I generally just lurk there. Anyway thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezzo Forte Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah, the gender discussion section really brought me back to AVEN. I went a long while without really posting much, but what was originally just going to be a quiet one-off coming out to myself ended up becoming a bit more than that! Usually, I'm more of a lurker too, hence why I've seen your posts without really engaging in discussion. Still, it's nice to officially meet and I'm sure we'll get to chat a bit on here if I stop myself from lurking in the shadows too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyFenton123 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah, I've been trying to get more active in the gender discussion forums rather than just lurking, but I'm still a little bit weird with my gender identity. Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome! Edit: Also, I think this just became the very first hot topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltaX Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Lurking in the gender forum is one of my favorite things to do on AVEN. I really have anything to contribute there myself, but I find it totally fascinating. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! Also, you totally are the first hot topic! Congratulations!

owl Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Welcome Nice to see you here, seen you around on aven quite a bit. (I'm also one to lurk around gender forums but rarely post, heh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezzo Forte Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Even posting a fair amount in the gender forums, I've really enjoyed the lurking too! I didn't lurk too much before I figured myself out because I had some weird "this is my struggle and my struggle alone" complex going. Ironically, one of the big turning points for me came from lurking, as someone shared "The Null HypotheCis" and everything just seemed to slowly come into focus. I know what it's like still not quite knowing how to articulate your experience of gender, and sometimes just silently lurking does more than posting could. Plus, I agree that it's pretty interesting to listen to everyone's experience with the topic, even when reading about experiences that don't totally line up with your own. Also, this is a pretty cool thread for the forum's first hot topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyFenton123 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hi, Simowl! Nice to see you Hmm, I'll have to read that. I like lurking there because it's a really positive, supportive place and it's interesting to read other people's experiences and advice. And I have to agree, I'm really liking this forum right now. I just figured out how to make a signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I find it kind of funny how this is a new site, so this topic, while only having 10 replies, is considered a "hot topic." Anyway, as a bit of a newbie and lurker on AVEN myself, have seen all of you there quite a bit, although I wouldn't be surprised if no one saw me. My most used name was Epic Potato, but I just changed today to Spud because I thought it sounded cool haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, that was my great-grandfather's nickname for my brother. No one is really sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyFenton123 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hey, nice to meet you Spud! That name reminds me of the guy in American Dragon... I dunno if you know what I'm talking about be he was a cool dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltaX Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Despite identifying as my assigned sex, I suspect my experience with gender isn't a "typcial" cis-female experience with gender, and I feel like reading through the gender forum has helped me a lot in understanding how other people experience gender. Almost everyone in the gender forum experiences something different to me, and it's so interesting and informative to read through. Also, hello Spud/Epic Potato! I know you from the CAPS LOCK club on AVEN, and it's good to see you here as well. I didn't notice that you changed you name on AVEN yet, so now I have insider scoop on who the "new" Spud person is!

I am cis, too, and the gender forum is really intriguing to me. I lurk on there a lot, but I don't even think I have ever posted there. Also, congratulations on having the "inside scoop" (laughs because ice cream pun, intentional or not). Some people have been surprised about who I am, but really, my name is slang for potato. It wouldn't be *too* hard to figure out anyway, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltaX Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It probably wouldn't be too hard, but I'm super slow with name changes. I appreciate the ice cream pun though! Every time something from here gets brought to AVEN we need to make constant puns about how we had the inside scoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
