Gay and in denial? Transgender

[Wolfsnake]

There's also nothing wrong with finding a comfortable, androgynous place that fits you, even if it's neither male nor female.

I definitely confused these feelings I had about being stuck in the wrong gender as a sexuality issue. I thought I was gay for quite some time before I finally realized that my feminine feelings had nothing to do with my sexuality, and I was forcing being gay because I thought that's what it all had to mean.

I finally settled on pansexual, but now I've realized that it's okay to be more attracted to girls and be feminine (well, duh). Ever since I started transitioning, this has become more and more clear. It feels so good to be authentic, finally, and not forcing something that I am not.

I went from being "bisexual" and fairly feminine to being totally aromantic yet straight in most of high school, then figured  I was bisexual  over the summer after Grade 12, tried forgetting it and temporarily joined a cult, went through another strange year, then I really came out to some people I knew as bisexual, realized it wasn't quite right, found out what Pansexuality was, and I totally clicked with it... As I became openly attracted to men, I realized I still had some issues to deal with, I started wearing makeup, realized I was never a "dude", but I felt sorta "gay", but not masculine at all, then I came out to my family as "androgynous" etc... That didn't go over well on my Mom's side... Over about a month or so I came to the slow realization I'm a transgirl, I started going to counselling regularly... Time has passed, I'm moving out very soon... I've had quite a journey.

I'd say it's totally possible for someone to think that, but I mean, most gay dudes I know don't have gender issues, except for my FTM friend

My former partner tried to talk me into thinking I was gay instead of trans. Other than the fact that I don't comprehend how gay men think, it might have worked. Now that I'm on my own again, I'm just myself again.
