    So hi... I realize the title kinda said everything I needed to say, but I'm new here and figured I'd come say hello.

    I posted a more in depth "help, idk what I'm doing" post in the gender expression forum, but tldr, I'm AMAB, and I've been out as bi for a while now, but recently a trans friend pointed out a few things that are making me question my own gender. So... yeah. Hi.

    Genesiz.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) :old_big_grin: when that becomes necessary!

    *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. When I first joined Empty Closets I was in need of a lot of support and encouragement and I found it here. I hope that you'll find good things here too! I read your post in the Gender Identity and Expression forum and I think that you need to spend some time thinking about your situation. There are a lot of resources out there, but if you haven't watched MtF youtubers that may be a good place to start. The different view points that they could give you might be a big help. Here are some favorites of mine that you might like: MtF: Victoria Rose, Riley J. Dennis, Renna Williams, Robin jaspers, Gigi Gorgeous. Take your time and work through this...it's a serious concept that shouldn't be entered into lightly.

    Some info on how to navigate EC:
    When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: :old_cool:

    *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.

    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_rolleyes: If you have any questions at all, you can always send me a Private Message.

    Hey! Welcome welcome. I'm learning that it's okay to be confused and to question EVERYTHING. I just hope you find some relief in being able to figure out who you are and how you feel here. Gender is a weird one...

    Welcome to EC! Glad you joined us. You will find the answers you’re looking for here. The answers are here. I have been so confused and scared for so long, but now am gaining strength and confidence to do what needs to be done. If I can help in any way let me know.
