    See? Even the place I live in can't make up its mind what it is. I'm recently out of the closet as a gender neutral person, even though I've been one as long as I can remember. Acceptance of my body has been tough for me ever since it decided to go one specific way. Sometimes I long wistfully for the young, flat-chested, dickless wonder of a body I had prior to puberty. I've always just been me. Neither male nor female. Sexually, I'm 95% lesbian, attracted to women, with the rare exception of very occasionally being temporarily attracted to a male. Mostly, I feel kind of freakish, because everyone I know feels perfectly at home as male or female. Growing older has been difficult indeed. As a younger person, I was so androgynous that people often did not know if I was male or female. But as age has set in, my body has definitely, undeniably chosen female. I kind of feel betrayed by the whole process. But what is a "girl" to do? I'm not a girl, but I'm not a boy either. Does anyone else feel this way?

    I'm sorry, but I can't give much advice on that. But I hope joining EC helps you gain what I can't give! Welcome!

    Welcome,
    I have similar feelings. They're becoming more apparent now than before but I'm trying to deal in the best way that I can, mostly through education, which is where EC comes into play. It's been a pretty informative place and I'm sure you'll find more people like yourself. Take care! :slight_smile:

    Hi St. Pete-

    Sorry. I can't offer any advice on your situation. But I did want to welcome you to EC.

    Glad you're here. It sounds like you've come to the right place.

    It's good to see someone else who lives in my state on this site. It makes me feel less like the only person in the world to have the issues I have. But I do hope you find what you're looking for in this site and there will always be someone here with an open arm waiting to lift you up out of your slump.
