Hello everybody! 🙂

I believe the most of you (if not everybody of course) noticed recently my icon is nothing but this sentence written with a red font:

"Can't use a female character here 'cause people think I'm a guy and that character is my crush."

Why does my icon look like this and why this sentence? Let me explain...

For long time, I used icons with women and female characters like Cindy Crawford, Madonna, Princess Aurora, Marilyn Monroe, etc. I believed in my naivety they'll represent my gender (a female one in my case). However, I realized I was wrong. I noticed in most cases guys use a female characters as their icons and girls do the opposite (they use a male characters as their icons). Some guy who (of course!) has a female character as his icon, confirmed that with telling me that "guys have cute girls as profile pictures, girls have guys and kids have sonic or something edgy". I wasn't happy about it... 🙁

Why does it matter me so much? I have written this in my profile page but for someone who skipped reading this for some reason, I'm gonna tell I'm a trans which means I'm a girl in guy's body. However, in real life I didn't make any gender correction, you know, no surgeries, no even hormones... Nothing! In real life I'm a guy who's a gay. I also live in a country I need to hide my true identity 'cause Poland is the most homophobic and transphobic country in UE and if about the whole Europe, only Russia is worse. 🙁 Sites like DA and FA (especially FA I believe) are the only place I can be truly myself and in this case I mean being a straight woman. I'm so happy because of that and I can't be more thankful for such a luck. 🥲

I hope I explained my weird icon the best I could...
