Hi Bethany!
Yay U of MN! (I went to Minneapolis. Hard to brag about a golden gopher, however...)
Welcome to the community.
Our culture is so vehemently binary about gender, it's often really hard to picture a place for those of us who don't quite fit the cookie cutter stereotypes. So don't worry, many folks are a bit confused when they first get here. But it's ok. We don't bite.
