Herro! Nice to meet y'all. Hoping to stick around and maybe make some friends. I'm out of the closet to my family. We had some massive fights over it. My mother thinks I am in a phase, and have no life experience to really *know*. I call bullshit, pretty much. Im a my own best advocate. I'm born female, but really unsure of my gender identity. I am a lesbian, and I think the biggest deciding factor for me on that, was not only that I had feelings towards other females but that I actually had a body response to them. I've never had any sort of physical response to a male, no matter how hard I tried. Right now, I'm working on accepting it 100%, and getting myself out into the community. Hope to see y'all around!
Why herro there! (^_^) And I know what you mean, I think my dad still thinks I am just in a phase, judging from some things he's said.... ....Even though I've known I was bi before I knew there was a word for it (maybe as young as 8 years old..) and have communicated that I KNOW that this is me.
Welcome to EC. If you're questioning gender, be sure to check out the Gender Identity and Expression section. It's not all just thread derailments.
Hi! Glad to have you here and welcome! Yup, we are who we are. I've known for pretty much my whole life, or at least since I was very young, and came out as Bi-sexual around 12 years old. Just be yourself, and take the time to find out who you are.
Yeah although I've been aware I was gay since I was 13, I imagine I'd have to be a real idiot to not know it yet by now. Body responses says it all. Welcome.
