I know people have wanted a picture of me for a while. For a long time you never saw anything, but events have conspired to make the situation right for me to finally upload one. So, here you have it:
This will require some explaining (unless you're Brad, in which case I'm just repeating myself).
I've been pretending to be female online since 1999, and I've done bloody well at it I think. But technology has moved on, now we have Skype and YouTube, so it's become harder and harder. Combine that with increasingly personal relations online, and things came to a head back in June.
I've always had a strong element of gender confusion, and came to the conclusion a while back that I'm a transsexual (after a conversation with a psychiatrist, she seemed convinced as well, though that's not a confirmation by NHS standards, so I'll be doing more of that) and after that decided that people needed to know the truth about me. This is a bit ahead of my former schedule (I thought more like 2010), but whatever. Now it's done.
I've also made a YouTube video (see below), so you know what I sound like as well now. The talk of a webcam is serious, I hope to have one and be making good use of it within a month or two.
