[Kristen]

I chose a female username because I'm more comfortable with it. When I go to other sites where I have a male name it seems as though I'd have a tendancy to be more combative and argumentative. When I come to places like this where I can feel as though I'm with a group of people that I can relate to and they're more likely to accept me so I feeel more comfortable . Thus the reason I chose to have a feminine username.

BTW, it's actually a combination of my real middle name, we'll sort of (Chris) and a few letters from my last name. And that's how Kristen came about .
