Hi everyone, I'm new here, i'm not sure about posting my male name so i'm just gonna call myself Liz for now. So i've been questionning my gender identity for a while now. But everytime i think about it i feel mostly fear, anxiety and doubt. And i can't get thoses questions out of my head. Either i feel like i'm making progress then the next day thoses progress have mostly been replaced by "no way you're trans". I've been depressed for like 2 years and i face panic attack sometimes in public. And because of that i'm scared to see a therapist or any other help, i barely get out of my flat. I vagely talked about my problem to my brother and other people seem to have found my struggle, but i don't know what to say to them cause... I just don't know, yet? Thank you
Hello! Welcome to EC! It's okay if you don't know yet, a lot of people don't figure it out just like that. But it would be a great idea if you could talk about it. Just saying that you don't know what gender you are is a good beginning. I wish you good luck! ^^
Hey! It took me over 7 years to work out what my dysphoria meant and to come to terms with it. Now, I am happily out to my class. Unfortunately, I have a really homophobic and transphobic family, so I'm not coming out until I leave the household at 18. No one is pressuring you. Just be yourself. And if you don't know who you are, then find out. Everyone does eventually - a trans guy
Thanks for the advices Yes talking about it seems a good idea but i'm scared to tell if i'm not sure, i'm scared to be silly if it turns out true, or not... maybe i shouldn't worry so much idk. And i guess i'm starting to talk about it right here so ^^ it's a start Be brave alexander, and remember that family can surprise you sometimes don't judge too quickly, they'll come around it eventualy if they don't right away Wishing you good night ^^ Bye
Welcome to the forum! This forum will help you out a lot. For myself, I spent many years wondering about my own gender identity and doubts are natural.
Thanks alex, First of all sorry if i spell some words wrong, english is not my mother language, i'm belgian. I spent a few days reading comments and post. They help me understanding more my situation but after a while doubts get in the way and like... erase all progress i've made in my head. It's like i'm stuck in a circle... How do i move on to the path of conclusions? I told my friends i was questionning my gender and they took it very well, i know that they won't reject me if i transition. Beeing drunk help sometimes ^^
