Hi! I'm a 22 year old university student, doubling majoring in history and English. I'm in my senior year, looking to graduating in May. I'm currently working on an honors thesis project. This is my first time venturing into any lgtbq space. Basically, I grew up in a community where being anything other than straight and cisgender was just not discussed. My high school counselor made a point to shame me, telling me that any and all bullying I received would go away if I would "just act more like a girl, and "tried harder to fit in." Once I got to university things got a lot better, and I started figuring some things out that I had always felt but hadn't been sure of. I tried coming out when I was 15, but my family (while not angry or overly upset) responded by telling me it was a phase and then pretending nothing happened. I am certain of my bi/pansexuality, but have not tried coming out to anyone since then. My gender is currently a bit up in the air, and that's part of what pushed me to join here. That, and the fact that I don't currently have any lgbtq friends to talk with. I am trying to work up the courage to go to my uni's gender and sexuality center. Anyway, I'm looking forward to being more involved on here.
Hi dizzydoves and welcome to EC Wow, that high school teacher seems a little... I'm not going to say what I'm thinking However, I hope you'll like it here ^^
