    Hello everyone,

    My my name is Shae, but here I go by Apollo9358. For as long as I could remember I have been a lesbian. My mom wasn't very supportive but she came around. I have a fiance who I have been dating since 2007. I am very happy with her..... but recently ive begun to realize I wasn't happy with myself..... I look in the mirror and I sont know who is looking back at me. For as long as I could remember I viewed myself as a boy. I wanted to be a boy.... I thought it was because I am a lesbian but I am starting to realize it is more than that. Im terrified. It was hard enough coming out as a lesbian but I feel like this is a whole new ball game... I dont know what to do about it. I dont even know what or who I am. I feel lost. I finally had the guts to talk to my fiance about it and she has been amazing. She is very supportive and loving about it..... im scared that will change though. Im scared everything will change. That is why im here. I just in a weird place

    I'm so glad that you have a supportive partner! I know that has made all the difference in the world for me in discovering who I am. Good luck out there, Apollo!

    Thank you pelops,
    I did get very lucky with her. I honestly dont even think I could have admitted it to myself without her..... she helped make me comfortable enough to look at myself. She never judged, never condemned. She is amazing. I am very glad to have her
