    I've been thinking a lot about this lately and I decided I'm not going to connect my sexuality to my gender. I have also decided I am both male and female. This has been on my mind for a long time and I finally realized who I was yesterday…in the middle of class. I also realized that the male part of me is bi and the female part of me is a lesbian. I know it won't make since to some people, probably a lot of people, but it makes since to me and that's all that matters. I just wanted to tell someone about my new self cause I feel good about myself now and I haven't for a long time but I gained a little bit of hope today in the words 'it gets better' and I'm happy.:icon_bigg

    That's great! :slight_smile: Glad you realized that about yourself and that your feeling happy! It's a big relief when you can finally stop questioning these things, isn't it?

    Good luck. And kudos to you for wanting to come out to someone. Coming out for LGBT persons IS a Rite of Passage and should be celebrated! For many LGBT people, this. doesn't mean much. But it does to me and hopefully for your family as well.

    Good luck and best of wishes to you.
