    Hey, I'm a new member and I just thought I'd drop in and say hello. I'm so glad I found this forum page because if I keep all this stuff to myself, well, let's just say it hasn't gone well in the past lol :rolleyes: Anyways, feel free to drop me a line, I'm pretty awkward but I'm trying to get out there and be... less awkward lol.

    I'm 17 and I've started to question my gender. Again. This hasn't been a one time thing for me, and I feel in my heart it's not a phase but my mom just tells me that it's because of my anxiety and that it's totally a phase and "I'm just using masculine gender expression as something to hide behind," because I guess everything I do is totally about my dad, right?? :dry: I'm trans masculine or at the very least, non-binary. Been questioning since I was like 13, until I decided that doubt and fear would prevail and I ignored my feelings for quite some time, trying to be traditionally feminine. It just doesn't work for me. So, I'm taking this slow and I'm experimenting with things until I find what does works for me.

    Thanks for reading and have a great day!! :smilewave
