    I posted once before in the welcome thread, but I got zero responses, which is a little bit setting off my "See, you are a freak after all!" alarm, but only a little. I think the reason is probably that I titled it with a kind of "oh, am I this or that, I'm so confused!" topic, and so many of you must have seen that kind of thing a million times and be tired of it. Anyway, hi! I'm here! I think I'm mostly through that first part!

    I'm AMAB, bisexual and bi-gender. I've had things going on with my gender identity since at least second grade, but I only started connecting with my female side about ten years ago, in a limited way. About seven years ago I met the woman who would become my wife, and she was so clearly worthy of knowing my secrets that I told her almost immediately when I hadn't told anyone before. That worked out well, I guess you can infer. About six months ago I started working in earnest on bringing out and integrating my neglected inner girl. In just this past week I heard that a friend had started crossdressing and was feeling kind of lonely and worried, so I got in touch and came out to him (he prefers "he/him" when he's not dressed), and that conversation has sparked a crazy period of lots and lots of learning things about myself.

    So hi! Thanks for having me! :newcolor: (Why is there no heart emoji? What if I try :heart:?)

    Hey KitSylph! I'm new here (just a few minutes old, haha) and just figuring out how things work here. Glad you are learning lots and beginning to feel more comfortable expressing yourself <3

    Quantumreality and moonmodule and lesbihonestt, thank you! I feel a little silly for "knocking" twice (got to belittle those legitimate emotional needs, right?), but your good wishes really mean a lot to me.

    Welcome to EC :slight_smile:

    Sorry to hear you didn't get responses. No one's ignoring you, the forum gets loads of thread posts so not all of them to get some recognition.

    Hey,

    So I am AFAB, but I identify as bigender and bisexual. I came out to myself as bisexual quite a few years ago. Recently I have been exploring my gender identity this year after experiencing gender dysphoria. Now working to balance how I express both sides of my identity while still not being out to family.
