    I've been identifying as a biromantic asexual for a few months and haven't identified as bigendered in several months until last week. I, however, redisclosed my gender identity to one person lately. I began with the 'I'm transgender' statement. He then asked me how. I was assigned female at birth, but identify as a mix of man and woman, like a third gender. He then asked me about my biological sex characteristics, which I think has little to do with my gender identity. He hasn't contacted me in days. I wouldn't feel comfortable coming out to my Christian parents again, since I told them dozens of times before.

    Firstly, welcome to EC! You'll really like it here. I know I do. Secondly, I'm sorry about your friend. I know how it feels to get rejected for your sexuality/ gender. It's happened to me too. I'm no expert though, so ill try to leave that part to the more experienced users. But if you need to blow off steam, I'm right here.
    Best wishes,
    Bernie

    Welcome! Do not worry so much about labels. They are useful, but you should just think of yourself as a human who is or isn't attracted to other groups of humans. Most straight and cisgendered people don't even think about this; they have society telling what they feel is okay. It's harder for others, but that's only if you let society dictate who you should be or love.

    Thanks guys! I called my friend after he text me yesterday and he had the nerve to say, 'don't use big words with me' and asked about my 'outsides' so to speak. After I answered him, he replied, 'you're not f*cking trans because you haven't been diagnosed with it.' I've written him paragraphs relating to gender, yet he couldn't get them through his think skull. I though we were together on this gender nonconforming thing because he's a flamboyant bisexual (as he said). And little does he know that homosexuality was a diagnosis. Hey, Friend: 'transgender' is not a diagnosis, but gender dysphoria can be. Anyways, after I retold him about my gender identity for the third time, we went to another subject. I don't mean to be like Alfred Binet, but when I look back to that conversation, I thought 'this guy is as dumb as he sounds! Why did I continue to associate with him? Smh. My head is getting lighter and lighter.' Part of me wanted to call him back then snap, but another part of me thought about ignoring him, if he ever calls me (as he said he would). I just think 'wow, this guy is my age yet thinks 'menstruate' or 'urine' is a 'big word!'
