    Hi. I've been thinking about my gender identity for some time now. I think I'm a demigirl and genderqueer. No one in 3d knows about this, only some people online that are trans themselves. I'm pretty new to all of this and I'm still learning.

    I like to read and write and I looove patterns! Roses, stripes, dots... and colors are nice too. Anyway. I really don't know what else to say introducing myself. I feel fine with the pronoun "she" as I identify partly as a girl, and therefor I wonder whether I really need to "come out" to people in 3d or not (my body is female). On the other hand I'm thinking maybe it would feel good to just tell them who I am and be open about it? My family is very open-minded so I'm sure they would support me and everything if I came out, but of course it's still scary and I'm nervous about it.

    Hi to you all and thanks for letting me be a part of this community.

    Hi! Welcone to EC! I think that if you definitely don't feel like 'girl' is a good description of who you are, then at least go with 'genderqueer' or 'transgender'!

    Thank you triflow.

    I think "girl" describes me partly.

    Welcome. ^^ Demigirl buddies? Hehe. :slight_smile:

    If you don't think it's that important, you don't have to come out as a demigirl. Personally I probably won't ever tell most people, partly because a lot of people wouldn't take me seriously, and I don't feel desperate to tell anyone anyway.

    Hi lookingforme! Welcome to the community! If I may... I think it'd be a good idea to come out to your loved ones--those who are open-minded and supportive. You're fortunate; not many people have others to turn to. It might take some time for them to get used to your gender identity, but if they're truly open-minded, I think it'd be worth the effort.

    I hope you enjoy this community. It seems like a safe place to explore these issues in. : )

    thank you. I know I am fortunate. I agree with you, I'm thinking it'd be good to tell them. I like this community, or at least what I've seen so far.
