Misconceptions?

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

I was just reading through some of my old stories, and the comments on them, and it seems to me that some people have an idea of who I am that is quite a ways off of the real me. So this is me opening up myself for any questions any of you want to ask. Within reason, I'll answer any question posted as a reply to this blog.

Update, now that I'm not on my phone anymore:

Some people seem to have taken Empty or Circle the Drain to be autobiographical, it is not. I am only 21, I've never been married, I do not have children, and I have never been a christian. I respect other people's rights to believe what they want, I only ask that they respect my right to not believe.

I have written a lot of stories about suicidal characters, which has had a lot of people worried. But up until just recently, I have never actually been suicidal. 92 sleeping pills was a true autobiography of the few weeks before I posted it, but is not indicative of how the rest of my life has been. Suicide is an interesting topic to me, because I frequently wondered what would push somebody to that point. I guess now I know.

So yeah, that's the short version. But even though I have written a few stories, I have never been active in the community, and maybe I should learn to be more social. So my offer stands, if anybody wants to know more about me, questions are fine.

And to answer the question I'm sure some of you are curious about but too polite to ask: I am transgender, but I am currently not in a stable physical or emotional environment to start transitioning, maybe in a couple years.

...starting off by pointing out the misconceptions you've discovered and what your own perspective is regarding any observations anyone may have made?

Yes, of course. I'm updating the above post now

Hey! Sorry, I wrote the post originally on my phone, which doesn't work well on BC. (I wonder if they've ever considered making a mobile version.)

I'm on a computer now, so I'm going to add some details.

Kylie, why not

post an autobiography as a blog, or story telling us about who you are?
