    I haven't used a forum in about 15 years, so bear with me while I adjust.

    Firstly, as the previous line might have given away, I am not a teenager. I'm not even in my twenties anymore. I won't say exactly how old I am but I will say that I'm old enough that I thought all of the questioning angst was behind me and that I thought I knew who I was.

    Secondly, I am bisexual and have known this ever since I first hit puberty *mumblesomething* years ago. I never really bothered much about it, never had any sort of crisis that a lot of my friends did with their sexuality. I was always very open about my sexuality, never kept it hidden and never was in the closet to start with. Still aren't, don't know why I'm using the past tense here.

    Anyhoo, the reason that I'm here today is that I had an epiphany today on the tube (worst place ever FYI) and I don't think that I'm actually a woman. I think I'm actually genderfluid. I actually didn't know the term but did some googling on my phone and found the term and it seems to fit. It was kind of a startling revelation and I nearly started crying in Burger King (which I don't recommend) and I just have no idea where to start with this sort of thing.

    I have a few trans friends, but I don't actually know anything about genderqueer or genderfluidity so I'm hoping to learn more and see if it applies to me. To be honest the more I read the more I feel like "that's me!" and the less I feel like that little ticky-box marked "woman" applies to me.

    So, are there any other genderfluid people here? Or older people? Or older genderfluid people? Or comic book fans? (That last one has nothing to do with anything, I just really like comic books :grin:)

    Hello fellow Genderfluid person! :3 I kind of chuckled when I read how you had your epiphany...I had mine when I was in church.
    Anyway, if you want to talk, feel free to message me because I'm still a newbie at this but I consider myself knowledgeable.
