    This is... the start of my third month, I guess? yes, third month being out to myself as androgyne/bigender/genderfluid. (Question: what are the different meaning-shades and connotations with these terms? I'm still unsure which best to use.) Which is amazing. I'm taking things slow expression-wise, but just knowing who I am and who I can be is, yes, amazing. I know we are not anywhere slightly close to perfect tolerance as a society, but just living in a time when the ideas of gender identity and non-binary sex exist in culture is so, so cool.

    I am still not out to many people other than myself; some family, a couple of friends. I'm moving cities to study (!) in a month or so, I'm kind of thinking I will make a thing for that of developing a self-expression reflective of my actual self, and come out to everyone I know before I leave. Maybe. That last bit is scary; everyone I know is a rough crowd. But I think I should, I think I owe it.
    (Clarification: rough crowd in the performer's sense, not in the, they will come to my window at night and throw stones at me sense.)
    (I think.)

    So yeah. Hello everyone. Thank-you for being here. I'm Raini. Hopefully you'll be hearing more from me.

    Welcome to EC! Also, from what you are asking, it sounds like you believe yourself to be not male, not female, but a combination. Best answer I could give(!) <-and this banana is totally necessary.
