Well, not really. Guess I'll have to do. I'm Nova Ves ('new village' in Slovak), and I'm new here. The reason I'm joining is because while at a conference late this past week I really started undergoing dramatic self-reassessment about my sexual and gender identities. To give a fuller account would likely take a full thread, so I won't get into it here (tl;dr: lots of pain, little gain); I'm sincerely hoping that I can get some of the help I probably need on the site. I'd also love to start helping others, too, as I work part-time as a volunteer counselor at a sexual crisis center on my college campus. It'll be nice to meet all of you.
Hi there, and welcome to Empty Closets! EC is a great place for sharing your experiences this far, and trying to find some answers. Welcome aboard.
Welcome and I hope you find some of the answers you're looking for... or if not answers per se then reassurance that you're not alone in feeling the way you do. I thought I'd have all my answers about my gender identity and sexuality when I transitioned, but I quickly discovered...yeah, no. I just had a whole lot more to think about rofl. Maybe I'm just weird but most of the time I find the uncertainty liberating.
I thought I had it all settled as well. I started sort of doubting it in maybe February or March, and now this past weekend I felt like I was hit with an identity lightning bolt and now I'm just sort of feeling unsure about anything. I'm aware that I'm in a transition phase and I'm okay with that, but I have to make sure I can keep holding all the pieces until I become a self I'm even happier being.
