    I'm new here. Not really sure what to say. I was born female(28yrs), I'm in a straight relationship, mom to 2 beautiful children.
    I don't know how to explain how I feel. I was raised in a religious home, man was man, woman was woman. Homosexuality was a "sin".
    Recently(last few months) I've really started thinking more about my own sexuality. I've always selected "female", but I somehow don't feel female. I don't feel male either. I find both men and women physically attractive. I feel a sense of loyalty to the man I'm in a relationship with, so I don't have the means to "experiment".
    I just feel gender-less, and confused about my place in the world. And I worry that this will somehow negatively effect my children.
    I hope this makes sense to someone, who could maybe let me know I'm not completely crazy.

    Thanks :slight_smile:

    Hello :slight_smile: I can tell you that you're definitely not crazy. There's a whole lot of people here on EC that are in a similar situation, so don't you worry. I bet you'll find the support and clarity you're looking for!
    Welcome to EC :slight_smile:

    Hi bkinney6

    I'm new here too and also fairly newly confused. I can relate to the worry for your children on this road to self discovery.
