    Hi, all, am really so happy for this community to share and learn about life. For some time I have been questioning myself and going back over the years I can see I have been living a mis-gendered life. Assigned male at birth and socilaized male, I have come to discover that I was a construct of the binary discourse and now can embrace my real gender.

    I am a genderfluid pansexual and I like it.

    My genitals do not define me (I so love that term - thanks to whoever created it).

    I am not a male. I feel so free to know and say I AM NOT A MAN.

    I was born into a so-called free liberal society dominated by a binary gender homophobic discourse. A discourse that hid my real genderfluid identity and pansexual orientation from me. Just because I was born male bodied and therefore was designated male at birth. So much of our identity is dominated by our genitalia, what nonsense.

    I am delighting to be awakening my female and neuter gender flowing within me. I feel most connected to my feminine as I revel in its discovery. I am she, herself a genderfluid person.

    Although male bodied I am so comfortable with my new awakening, I will savour the wonderful joy that is me in my delightful flowing gender. Stay tuned as I journey onward as me, an ecstatically happy genderfluid pansexual.

    I am so grateful for the enlightened period we are experiencing. There is now a language and discourse I can use to define me; thank you all for pushing the boundaries.

    There is still much to be done. We all must do all we can to break down the binary Jenna

    PS - I don't know what the poll thing is, I checked a button and come up, please ignore

    Hi! I quite recently came out as trigender and bisexual/pansexual/F labels myself :slight_smile:
    You've a beautiful fire burning in your chest! You're absolutely right that more needs to be done! I'm lucky to be in a school class where like half of all people are LGBT+. There's also an LGBT+ cafe in the city I'm living in, I want to go there soon :slight_smile: Do you have such a place to go to, or friends etc. to talk with IRL?
    Anyways, super welcome to EC!! Feel free to wall me! Lots of love and hope to see ya around, honey! <3 :kiss:

    Hey all, thanks so much for the positive vibe. It feels really great to begin to male connections. As I told my therapist a while ago, since I have worked through my identity issue and come to find my gender identity I have been feeling so complete.

    Its just lovely, I look forward to sharing and connecting with you all.
