    Hello everyone
    I'll try to be brief here.
    I'm still a closeted bi-man(?) and have no plan of coming out. It is because I'm living in a very conservative and traditional Chinese culture within an islamic country. I'm also a closeted atheist. My family and friends are mostly catholic/Christians, Buddhist/Taoist and muslim.
    After watching Caitlyn Jenner came out, she gave me a fraction of a fraction of her courage to go to forums to post my frustrations and to search for answers to my questionable bi or even trans inner me.
    When i was a teenager i was androgynous. But by age 22 i "locked-up" that person and became straight. Life pass by so quickly, in a blink of an eye I'm 59y.o now. I just want to say something before i close my eyes forever.

    Hello all,
    Thank you for welcoming me.
    I have been reading a lot of threads and forum, very interesting read especially the gender identity. Everyone's story are somewhat similar but yet different in some ways.
    I m here to tell my story and see if anyone have similar condition to mine. I m not very good at social media communication skills - took me almost a year to finally ask someone what "lol" mean! Yes, I m that type :frowning2:
