Hi there!
I'm a 30 year old individual from the UK. I was assigned female at birth, I felt like a boy growing up, then my body went all meh and started bleeding and fat building in places I didn't like. Due to bullying (in retrospect, specifically transphobic, though I never knew what trans was at the time), I grew my hair and have tried to perform the gender roles society expects of me.
So I'm kind of here because for the first time in my life, I actually feel brave enough to be me. I'm in a queer friendly environment more and I embraced a non-binary identity a couple of years ago and have recently started being open about it and taking steps to become more androgynous. I am considering going to gender clinics, as I'm starting to realise how much my body and gender issues have affected things like my ability to be intimate with people (though I may also have aspergers syndrome according to medical professionals), I find binding helps reduce the icky feelings I get about my chest, though I'm a bit scared to consider testosterone...
I just know I'm not a woman and am maybe in between and I feel comfortable with neutral pronouns. I find feelings hard to articulate about the whole thing, but a huge weight off my shoulders now things are becoming clearer and now I'm researching options.
Um other stuff... I like cooking, reading, DIY events, I love animals and have an interest in gender, borders and politics. I live in the north of the UK and study and work. I'm here to meet other people and to learn tips to help make life a little easier.
Hello people. Hope you're all well.
