    Hi, I'm Lee! :smilewave I'm 18 and I'm an art student from southeast England. My hobbies are drawing, painting and reading and I'm really into star wars.

    I've been identifying under the umbrella term of non-binary for almost a year now, but the more I think about it the more I feel like I might be a trans man? I have a few feminine traits, and moments when I feel quite feminine and it doesn't bother me, and I think my confusion stems from not feeling 'manly enough' to be a binary trans man, even though I experience a lot of body and social dysphoria and like to be referred to as a guy.

    I've been identifying as bisexual/pansexual interchangeably for about two years, but I'm beginning to wonder if I might be on the ace spectrum somewhere? Maybe asexual and panromantic, but I'm not really looking for a relationship right now so I'm not in a huge hurry to figure it out.

    I'm out to my mum and my sister at the moment, and they're really supportive, but I'm not expecting good reactions from the rest of my family. I want to be out at university (I start this September), since I can't be out at home, but I need to figure out what to come out as before I can do that.

    Anyway, just figured it might be a good idea to talk to some other LGBT people, since I live in a little rural village and hardly know anyone who's LGBT here.
