Hi, I've never reached out to a support board before, but I hope I'm doing this right! I'm comparatively very young to most of the people I've seen on this site- 16 years old (I hope that's not too much of a problem?). My nickname's Gin but I've been really recently trying out Porter as a chosen male name when it comes to online identity. I've been starting to question my gender identity, to the point where it's been stressing me out a bit and distracting me from doing regular things. I know others can't diagnose what I identify for me, but I was hoping being able to just talk about it from others who share similar experiences might help. I'm working on just experimenting with different expressions, and I suspect I'm either genderqueer or trans. You can use any pronouns you like, really- I am just experimenting with different things. 'He' would be a nice change of pace in contrast of living female all the time. (but whatever is cool with me?) I appreciate any advice or support available or just to talk about things!
Hey. Glad to see we have another member. Don't worry about your age. They're are plenty of us younger ones on here, so all good there. It's good to see another person take that first step to discovering and accepting who they are.

Hello and welcome Take part... ask questions... people like to help (&&&) Just take your time...

(*hug*)
Welcome to EC, Porter. And, I'd say I've seen a fairly even balance of ages on here, wwith a significant number of people around your age.
Wow, thanks to everyone for the supportive comments! Not gonna lie, I was nervous at first with coming out with my problem to a forum of people, even overwhelmed. I'm really glad I did it though, and I'm excited to join a community with such friendly and open people! I'll probably start off with lurking around the gender identity board and probably making a thread there. Thanks again, I really appreciate all the support and look forward to getting to know all of you!
You're most certainly welcome. If you have any concerns or issues, then feel free to post a thread in the Support Area. That's what we're here for
Welcome!!! You are going through a similar thing that I have figured out. I hope you figure out what you'd like to be
