Hello all. I think it's about time to let you all know about this.
A few of those who've been following me for a good while now may have wondered about this if they've been reading my profile info and noticing the changes.
To others, this may come as a surprise.
The reason that my username on here is Ben_Whiteclaw and my IRL name is listed as Sophia is due to a decision that took a long time and a lot of thinking to get to. But one I am 100% sure of. It's a decision I made well over a year ago.
Biologically speaking at the moment, I am male. However - I've always felt that my body is just... Wrong... I've wanted, since I was very young - to be a girl. To be female. As that's what I feel I am in terms of my personality and who I really am inside as a person. As such, I'm currently undergoing the long process of gender reassignment. (I'm currently pre-op, as I alluded to earlier.)
I already identify more publicly as a woman and many who know me, know me as a woman now. Be they old friends, or new.
That being said, not many have known this about me until now - and I apologise to those who feel I should've told them.
Thank-you to all my friends and family who've supported and are continuing to support me throughout this time in my life.
To anyone who has known me as Ben, I would ask you to refer to me as Sophia now if at all possible - and I'd ask that people use female pronouns to refer to me too.
Thank-you to all those who took the time to read this ^-^

as stated in journal, it reminds me of my 'coming out' stuff. (this being the first i did, even though i hadnt really fully settled into accepting my female side yet) https://kuna-hero.deviantart.com/ar.....I-Am-542442188 )
my trans piece is on another site i cant access, and i cant even remember if it's still up :o
but yeah, the transition for friends with names and all will be a bit tricky, trust me.
but maybe that's because i didnt have the most supportive of friends back then (the ones i have now that were there asre good ones no worries)
but yeah, i know you by sophia. i just dont remember names all too well (if you remember our talk like two months ago about that XD)

No need to apologize! I do appreciate the heads up, and I hope the stress of wrestling to reveal this information to your followers is eclipsed by the inner peace of being out and in the open. I wish you all the best and good luck in your journey, I suspect the first years may be the hardest. Courage!
I very much look forward to new art and following you for decades into the future, Ms. Sophia!

You'll have my support and I'm glad you have accepted who you are and told everyone as well, I know there might be folks who'll be cruel to you because of this but nevemimd them, you've plenty of folks who also love you for who you are and won't stand for others being mean to you!
Well I am glad you are being who you want to be and that it makes you happy ^__^.
Genders are weird, and put people in boxes. You be you and be a beautiful flower and never let anyone tell you you can't be you how you want to be!
(I hope that made enough sense, in general, I am all for this ;) )
