    Hello everyone,
    I am new to this site and just wanted to introduce myself. I am still pretty much closeted to most people, including my wife. With that said, I don’t know what I would come out as.
    I was born with male parts, but don’t feel male; nor do I feel exclusively female. Prior to marriage, i was primarily attracted to men (sexually) but find myself mainly drawn to women for friendship.
    Anyway, I hope to meet people that understand where I am coming from.

    Cheers,
    Alex

    For what it’s worth, I find men very attractive who are in touch with a more feminine side :slight_smile:

    Thank you
    Thank you Mirko, I hope so! I think I am almost ready to start the process of being honest with others about who I am. But it would be great to have some support! Funny thing is, I don’t know exactly what to come out as because I’ve never delved in and unpacked it with anyone. Anyway, thanks again for the welcome!

    Be open to inspiration, “relax and take it easy.” Let yourself be guided by an inner tuition that’s waiting to speak.

    I saw somewhere that I have to be a Full Member to send you a DM. I’ll look into that since I don’t think we’re supposed to give out contact info here. xo - Howdy

    Yeah, I'm kind of realizing I'm a bit of a jumble person myself. Not genderqueer, but sex and love buckets seem to point in different directions. It's confusing internally, and then of course in the outside world there is no comfortable category. I mostly think it comes down to focusing on people you know you like and the rest can fuck right off. :slight_smile:
