Hi Valerie! It was a delight to read your introduction. From everything you wrote, you sound so bright. I'm sure this quest to end gaming will help you fully harness the powers of your brilliant mind, helping you excel at Oxford and contribute great things to the world. :)
I'm a transgirl too (well, woman, I might say, being 25). I still need to make my own introduction, but I joined today feeling hopeful to learn from the experiences of other LGBT gamers in particular (although everyone will have a lot to teach me, of course). Happy you're here, and wishing you the greatest success with everything!
