    Hey there! I have very recently come to terms with the fact that I fit outside of gender binaries.
    Prior to knowing anything about trans people I told my mum that sometimes I feel like a gay man trapped in a womans body (I was about 12 at the time)... she laughed it off and thought nothing of it but now come to think of it, it was then that I started realising things were not right with me. I am 19 now, starting to accept myself and feeling alive.
    I know that I am genderqueer, but I don't wish to tell anyone quite yet. My family all think that I am a 'closet' lesbian because I have always been very masculine (I play football and sometimes wear mens clothing) but I know that my sexual preference is definitely men (although I am bicurious).
    I am only now running into the various genderqueer terms so please do correct me if I am wrong.. I am not sure whether or not I am genderfluid or bigender so I may use the terms interchangeably.

    Hey! I'm 19 too, and I am also only recently coming to understand how I identify my gender. For me, I am continuing to consider myself the same gender (male), but I want to fully recognize my female side. I am still wondering if I might fit well into the gender queer category myself.
    Well welcome to the forums! I look forward to maybe chatting with you ^_^

    Hi! Welcome. I am actually taking a gender and sexuality course. Learning all about gender fluidity, it is fascinating and awesome!!!
