    Hi,

    I'm Mora to most people who know me online.

    What to say about me?

    I'm 25 years old, I am pansexual, although I do tend to prefer women...I've been 'out' to my friends since I was 14. I came out to my mum once when I was 16 and she brushed it off as a 'thing' I was going through. My dad is extremely homophobic, and as I am still living at home (for various reasons) I'm not openly drawing attention to myself, even if I am not outright denying it either.

    In the last year or so, I had been struggling with myself in terms of who I am until I came to realise that I had a male half (who I had been repressing since I was a child because it wasn't 'normal') wanting to come out.

    I am seeing myself as both a woman and a man, although I am still working through my male side and getting to know him as it were, but even though it is still early days with this realisation, I am a lot happier with myself than I have ever been.

    I am at university, although I commute as and when I have classes, and I don't drive, so I can't really get out and socialise with people who might be able to understand what I am going through.

    I am here to try and get to know people online so I don't feel so alone through this.
