    Hi everyone,

    I am transgender. I know this isnt exactly the place..or it doesnt seem like the place for me to be posting something like this, as this seems to be a LGB forum, but when I was doing my research on why I feel the way I do, I was recommended this site as an outlet. I hope I can find some support in this, because im scared to death of telling anyone that is close to me about what I'm going through.

    Hello and welcome. I believe this is the right place for you. I have been here for a couple of weeks now and I don’t think it just LGB, I’m someone who is questioning if I am gender fluid or mtf trans. Everyone seem friendly and helpful.

    Glad to hear that. I personally am questioning myself whether I am MtF Trans myself. I've been kind of looking around for how exactly to proceed, but on the other hand. I'm like super scared of rejection by family and friends.

    I know exactly how you feel. I feel like I have convinced myself that I am gender fluid because I am to scared of admitting to myself that I am actually transgender and if I did admit it and come out I would lose everyone I love.

    I think what made me feel like I WAS mtf and not gender fluid or non binary was this really deep want to be a woman. Like, I'm not at all feminine in practice, I've lived my entire life as a man, but I feel like a woman and I feel feminine and I want to be a woman. so . bad. so that must mean I am a woman, right? I spent a lot of time playing with the idea of going by them they pronouns but it just wasn't me. If I wanted to live my best life I knew I'd have to make a big jump and I couldn't pretend to be something else that I wasn't. That's my reasoning. I'm out to a few people but like, where do I go from here? I totally get that. I just don't know what's next. I'm basically a man who people sometimes call her if they remember. I don't even know what my name is...
