Hey guys, -So as you know I joined scratch as the account @ApknJ, I used to be a trans female on that account *For anyone who does not know, trans female is someone who was not born female but now identify as one. I used to be a trans female and used the name 'Jade', I no longer go by that name because I believe that I wasn't really a girl so I decided to un-transition and now I am back to identifying as a cis male. During the time on scratch when I was the account @ApknJ, I wasn't happy, yes I liked my friends but I just wasn't happy, I felt like I wasn't being honest to myself because it's true. I had to fake a more feminine voice which I always hated doing because I felt like I wasn't using my true voice and being true to myself, it was hard for me because I felt like I was letting people down so I just decided that I couldn't be able to do scratch anymore. Not only was my voice fake but my personality was too. I was being someone who I wasn't and it gave me quite a hard time. Now after almost 5 months, through careful considering, I've decided I'm going to come back, this time I plan on staying and being my true and open self to everybody. I want to be who I am and not anyone else, @ApknJ doesn't feel like me, sometimes I feel like that account was a completely different person, watching through my old projects made me realize how much I was faking and how I did even sound like myself so today, I am going to be myself from now on. Thank you :)
