    Hi there! I'm new here, so I guess I'll just introduce myself..


    So since the place I'm in has almost zero LGBTQ+ communities, and it's been getting lonelier and lonelier, I came on this site hoping I'd be safer being myself...


    I currently identify as a transmasculine gender-neutral.. However, sometimes I feel as if I'm just doing this to 'rebel' or that it's a phase since I'm 17...

    I'll be in college soon, and it's quite scary.. The thought of pretending to be someone I'm not puts me down, but yet, if I try to be myself then I might put myself in danger...

    So, uh.. I dunno, I'm very awkward :rolle:
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

    Welcome.

    In some societies, being a bit different can be challenging, but worth it.
    Being a bit of a rebel is not necessary a bad thing!
