Hello and dear members of the Australian L4D community. I've decided to start in this community because I've known you all and respected you all for what feels like a life time. I've been around for quite a bit on the internet and would like to think to myself as a seasoned veteran on these well travelled toobs.
Which is why I have decided to share with you, and only with you, my secret.
For you see I am a transgendered male. I've known this all my life but yet I did not have the courage to speak out due to fear, due to the fear of persecution, fear of ridicule, fear that I'd hate who I really was.
However, through this game I met quite by accident others who share my curse, when I realised I was not alone a huge weight lifted from my chest. And this weight will now be gone once I submit this post.
Today, right now, at this very moment, it does not feel like a curse anymore. It feels like a key, a secret link that brings me closer to my friends, a piece of the puzzle that finally makes me whole again.
And then I realised, what if there are others out there who also share this problem? Who also are afflicted by this fear?
I could not, as a decent human being just let it all go by, to do nothing as others suffered in silence.
This is what PAX is. A support group of fellow transgendered L4D players.
I personally want to thank defaultNoob, Apply and Mr_Fayce for sharing with me their secret so that I might share mine, and together, we hope to reveal ourselves in the light of day so that you may finally know us for what we truly are and we can only hope you respect us for it. I also want to make a special mention to Patricia, her beauty is unsurpassed, her intelligence is without equal, her wisdom is awe inspiring, she helped me through this difficult time, helped me when I was in a dark place.
But it is not about us, it is about you, if you are also transgendered, gay, bisexual or a combination thereof, please, please hide it no longer and join us, freedom is a wonderful thing.
Thank you.
