How to become a member?
[/quote]

Hello, guest. To become a member, click on the word "register" in the black bar toward the top of this page. You will then be given a couple of prompts, for example to agree with the forum's rules and accept that the site uses "cookies." You will be asked to fill in your email address and your chosen screen name at other prompts. Once you've completed registration process, your membership will not be complete until it has been manually activated by one of our moderators, which can take anywhere from a few minutes to a day, depending upon the availability of a moderator.

All new accounts must be activated manually by a moderator before an account can access the members-only area. Your account has now been activated. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the delay.

I want to be a member of this forum. I just hear my daughter saying that she is not a girl. I didn't confront her because I am shocked and I don't know what to say. It is with great comfort that I found this community, I definitely need your help. How do I register? I registered already but I am not sure what is the confirmation that I am in. Thank you!

Your account has not been activated yet.  I’m sure it will be done soon & then you can access the forum.

Hello kbfighting, thanks for your patience. Jdmum is correct.

You did register correctly, however all accounts must be manually activated before they can gain access to the members-only area. Your account has been activated. Please post back here if you still cannot access it.
Welcome. I hope you find the forum helpful. You are not alone.

Our Bulletin Board is run for parents and families by parents and families who share the experience of coping with a child, teenager or young adult who believes she or he is transgender. 

Anyone in that situation is welcome to join us. But first:

Some points about confidentiality:

The board was set up as a place for us to discuss our stories, issues and problems in a respectful and non-judgemental space. However, we have no way to verify the identity of members. 

We Cannot Guarantee Confidentiality.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee that everyone on the board will be there in good faith. It is probably safe to operate under the assumption that the forum is being watched by those who would wish us ill. 

Choose an anonymous user name, don't reveal identifying details about yourself, and use appropriate caution when interacting with others on the forum. 

The system requires a valid email address as part of the registration process. This email is stored in case you forget your password, but is not visible to other members unless you explicitly choose to make it visible.

The system logs all personal messages and emails sent from the board.  These are not visible to other members, but can be seen by the moderators and may be examined if you are suspected of abusive behaviour. The moderators may examine the message logs to check that personal messages are not being abused. The moderators have not wish to police what people think or say, but will try protect the members from abuse and take whatever steps they feel are needed.

What's on the board stays on the board.

We ask you to respect the privacy and confidentiality of other members of the board.
 
By registering on this discussion system you agree that you will not disclose, share, download or copy any information or text posted on the discussion system by other users without their explicit permission. You will not describe, discuss or report information about the system, users or material that they have posted. 

Any information you provide on these forums will not be disclosed to any third party without your complete consent, although the staff cannot be held liable for any hacking attempt in which your data is compromised, or for the behaviour of other members of the board.

By continuing with the sign up process you agree to the above rules and any others that the Administrator specifies.

If you wish to join us, you can click the registration link above. After you have filled in and submitted your details, you will receive an email. If you follow the instructions in the email, your membership will then be held up until a moderator activates it.

Please be patient. Once you are registered, your account must be manually activated by a forum moderator. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to a day or two, depending upon the availability of our volunteer moderators.

After activation, you will be able to see the members-only sections of the board.

I believe I mist be experiencing the same thing.  Registered, email verification, but no "members only" portion visible.  BUT, I am new to using forums and could simply be wrong

Hi ste_funny84,

Thanks for your patience. All accounts must be activated by a moderator in order to gain access. Your account has now been activated. Welcome to the forum.

Hi! I just registered and can’t access anything. Is there something else I need to do?
