    Hey.. I'm not exactly sure where to start, I found this page from a Google search looking for answers. Not the smartest path I know.. but here I am so I'm hoping I'm in the right place. Still anxious about anonymity as you can imgaine;
    I've been curious since an adolescence, gender dysphoria if thats the right thing. Not entirely sure on the language please don't get mad at me. At first it was just that, curiosity, but almost 20 years later I find myself still crossdressing at every chance..
    I'd say bisexual but still prominently cis, although that may just be my environment.
    Honestly I'm just looking for some advice and to talk to someone who may have been through the same situation as me.
    My sister is openly gay yet I've still not managed the courage to tell her about myself even though we are very close. Thanks for reading I'd be very welcome to any help. Thank you :slight_smile:

    Hi dear! Welcome to the forum. I'm also questioning whether I'm trans or not, I'm 90% that yes but there is always this lingering feeling in the back on my mind whether I'm doing the correct thing. Anyway, feel free to hit me up and talk, maybe we can support each other in this path? See you!

    Scaredcississy.....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. In particular you may want to check out the forum that is titled "Gender Identity and Expression”, there are people there who have dealt with some of the same kind of issues that could be challenging you. I'm sure that you have watched trans youtubers...but just in case, here are some favorites of mine that you might like: FtM: Alex Bertie, Jammidodger, Noah Finnce, Luke Wale, Sam Collins, Ty Turner, Dakota Aspen.

    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.

    You mentioned alot of things - crossdressing, dysphoria, bisexuality, semi-cis. That's alot to explore - but it doesn't have to be intimidating or stressful, because are you under any deadline to find answers ?

    And even if you find an answer next week or next year, does it have to be a definitive one, for the rest of your life ?

    Keep experimenting, one step at a time - there are no right or wrong paths. When you find the mix of qualities that you feel comfortable with, you'll know.
