Hi! I'm Marianne! It's really nice to meet you all. Let me give you a bit of background on why I'm here. For the past 5 years, I have been out as a gay male. However, for the past year I've had episodes of gender dysphoria that come and go often, and basically I feel like they won't go away anymore so I'm trying to explore my gender identity a little more. As of right now I'm only out as trans to one internet friend, and they are completely supportive. It would be nice to have more support since my parents are transphobic as hell and would never support my decision in their lifetime, so I came here seeking that. I know this was kind of a rant but I'm really glad to be here! (!)
Hi Marianne! Welcome to the community. I am sure you will be able to find support and be able to exchange experiences here. EC is also a great place to explore your gender identity. There are a few members who are going through similar experiences. Welcome aboard.
