    Don't know how to start those awkward title sequences. There is a slight pressure to be different than everyone else so it isn't boring but without being very clever it makes it difficult.

    Either way, go ahead and call me Rowan. Its a name I go by a lot in real life even though it isn't my "real" name.

    I've come here because I've had a lot of issues dealing with confusion about myself and where I fit if anywhere in this strange and complex web of definitions and labels.

    To get right down too it I've always though of myself as a heterosexual male. I've always had thoughts about being "female" and daydream about it and even obsess over it a lot my whole life. I've never felt "trans" because these feelings aren't constant.

    In fact it has only been through the internet that I feel I have been able to express who I truly am inside. On some days I feel like a woman. On other days I feel like a man. Some days I feel like i'm somehow both. I hadn't even heard of "gender fluid" before last month.

    Either way I guess I can wrap this up with saying I am confused. I wouldn't say I am scared as I am prepared I think to accept who I am. I just don't know who that is.
