If you would like to use a pseudonym, you can just make one up. It's fun. Happy new year and many thanks for your delightful blog!

And a happy new year to you, too. I've always been an obsessively private person, and the odds of me ever using my own name here are close to zero. But I am increasingly feeling the urge to take some kind of name to express my identity, if not my identity, if you see what I mean. Because really, 'Nameless' feels like the <em>opposite</em> of who I actually am. I have a very strong sense of self. Just not sexually. But I suppose what I'm starting to feel is that my non-sexual self and my sexual self are not different things - which, really, ought to be obvious, I suppose. I do find your blog very worthwhile, though a bit dangerous, time-wise. It's all the linking to other posts that does it - they all sound so fascinating that I want to read them all right away. I currently have five posts open in different tabs, not including the external links, and that's only because I've just got up and those are the ones I didn't get to before I went to bed - there were a lot more last night. Hey! And a happy new year to you, too.

It's why I've chosen <em>not</em> to be anonymous online, despite the potential risks this brings on board. In any event, I'm happy to hear you're reading my blog, and I hope you find it worthwhile! Happy new year. :) I find the interplay between free speech and anonymity versus identity very interesting.
