Longtime lurker, occasional poster! Trying to come out of my shell because I'm starting to question my gender. I never felt like I fit the mold of "guy" and it's always something that I've had to try to do. I always felt awkward in all ways in school.
Lately, I'm really considering the possibility of being trans. I buy women's clothes, I try to talk and move in a slightly more feminine way. I was on a website and there was a page titled "I hope I'm trans" and seeing that in writing led to this moment of "Oh fish, I think I wish I were a girl!"
I'm trying to figure out who to talk to about these things. People in my life are pro-LGBT, but I'm just generally distant. Like, how to open up about this when I've just never been open. It's a challenge.
Thats great!!! 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️ I happy to see more people join this community!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Im kind of new to this whole “being trans” thing so i cant really offer much in the way of advice sadly 😔😔😔
i think i started with a lot of writing before i had my thoughts together enough to broach the topic. it's a lot of mental work to basically redefine yourself and work toward cultivating an identity that feels both new and like it was always there. hexbear is definitely a great place to talk things out if you're hesitant to bring it up in real life though, we have a great queer community. everyone is very accepting and generous with online resources to help you along the way
So when I was figuring things out I stumbled across this essay and I think it is a very helpful way of looking at things. https://freethoughtblogs.com/nataliereed/2012/04/17/the-null-hypothecis/
it's a great essay but freethoughtblogs is down and i can't find it backed up anywhere
thankfully the wayback machine has it still, but it's really a shame the original version is gone
Oh, that is a very recent development. Two months, or so, ago it still worked. What a shame.
