Hey! M' name's Xander, and I've honestly been looking for support from others for a couple of months, getting little from anyone but my closest friend, and I'm glad to have found this site! I've been slowly coming to accept myself as a male, having always honestly been a bit afraid to be anything but the female that I'm always told that I am, and that my mama always wanted, but I've been slowly becoming my self. I've not yet told... well, anyone besides my friend, and a couple of close friends I met online, because I have a number of fears that make me afraid to do it, despite the open-mindedness of everyone around me. I hope, though, to eventually go out of my comfort zone and slowly tell at least my parents that I identify as male, rather than female.
Welcome to Empty Closets™! I hope that this is very helpful to you. If you ever want/need to talk, I'm here!
