    hiya.... call me Alex :icon_bigg
    So I've known I'm genderfluid for around.... 4-5 months now. I'm still getting to grips with it and its pretty much why I'm here.
    I guess I just struggle to understand, its a thing, I am it and that's okay.
    My parents know but don't really understand and the handful of friends who know are lovely and supportive but I still get the raised-eyebrow-look-of-shock whenever I tell someone new... that feels fabulous. I'm 15 so my parents still have a fair amount of control over my life so my birth name still sticks and I'm not allowed to use binders. Which sucks because my male clothing (shirts specifically) weren't made to fit boobs. It just throws off my silhouette.
    The bisexual stuff is all geeed, been out for around a year I think? Honestly not sure, I was unknowingly in the closet for a goddamn long time.

    The name 'Alex' is a new thing for me. My birth name is VERY feminine so it doesn't really fit me anymore. Therefore, I wanna start getting used to introducing myself as Alex instead of my given name. (it makes me happy ngl >.<)
    To put it simply, I'm genderfluid and struggling so would very happily talk to others who are trans* in some way themselves. I know I'm not alone but it bloody well feels like it .:help:
    Arigato ^.^
    (oh yea, I completely love anime & Japan, hence the Japanese)

    I'm really surprised to see the amount of people in Trafalgar Square showing unity for the attacks in France. Good job, you guys :slight_smile:

    Konnichi ha(wa) there's lots of otakus here lol something about the manga/anime scene is apparently very attractive to LGBT. Well, I'm not complaining, that applies to me too!

    :slight_smile: Glad to have you here! Yoroshiku!
