I just joined and figured I'd introduce myself. I'm "Alex", and I came across this place when it became apparent that I needed to find folks going through the same stuff I'm going through. Questions about my gender identity have been a background noise for years and years, but more recent events have forced me to start trying to answer them. Although I've been aware of the idea of transgender for a while (with outdated terms), non-binary is a relatively new thing I've been exposed to. It's just getting harder and harder to "swallow" my issues and ignore them at this point, even though it has made things easier for me. While I may lurk quite a bit early on, and be somewhat secretive about my assigned gender, but I hope to do that less and less as I grow more comfortable with my (real) self. I also look forward to getting to know you folks better.
Hello and welcome to EC! It's a pleasure to meet you. Feel free to ask questions and give commentary as they are both highly valued .
Thank you for the welcome. It's the bolded part that makes me nervous actually. I'm all too aware of times I've overgeneralized or stereotyped when dealing with labels without meaning to. :eusa_doh: I will figure it out, though. I just may lurk more than I'd like at first.
Well hey and welcome to EC I hope that we are able to help you come to terms with your sexual orientation. I also hope that you make new friends who will both advise and support you. Lastly I hope that you are able to share your experiances with this wonderful community of people. Good luck If you ever need a friend dont hesitate to contact me
Welcome aboard! I see that you have Naoto as your avatar from P4. Naoto also struggled with gender identity due to her field, so I get why you picked her as your avatar. Hope that EC is able to answer any questions and concerns you have
*bows* Welcome fellow Non-binary individual! I started the journey you're on quite recently so I understand what you might be feeling - lol scratch that, I'm still on that journey and am now more or less, sure of myself. So, if you ever need a friend, feel free to contact me~ :smilewave
