Quote from: Leo1997 on Today at 04:57:46 PMHi everyone, i wanted to really ask for some advice about identity and how you all came to realise what you really identify as?
I never questioned my identity and I still don't know why to this day. I suppose I should have, may be I just accepted myself as I am. Maybe it was the time, where this information was not around, so I was not constantly asking who I am. In my case, I have always wanted or longed to be a female, more so between the years 1980 and 1988. I changed my life around in 1989 and it was not until 2010 that I realised I had always been a female. I only found this out from Susan's. So in the long run I never worried about my identity and I still don't till this day. I'm just me!
Quote from: Leo1997 on Today at 04:57:46 PMA few years ago i first came here under my original account which seems to have been lost asking for advice as to whether i was a transgender woman, but more recently I've began to wonder if i may closer identify with a non binary identity?
Danielle our Forum Administrator, if anyone might be able to find your lost account. She will ask you for some information privately, so as to help you in this area.
To be able to answer your question, you will need to seek the services of a psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist that deals with 'gender' issues and only you will able to determine, who you really are.
Quote from: Leo1997 on Today at 04:57:46 PMI really appreciate it is hard to tell how another person feels internally, but what i really wanted to ask if anyone could share their story on how they became aware that they themselves were non binary, so i can begin to try to understand what i am feeling more clearly
Thanks as always! Leo
You are more than welcome as Susan's Place is a place where you can seek out the answers you seek, to find out who you are.
Yes, you are right and only a trained 'therapist' with many years experience, would be able to come close to being able to tell how a person feels internally after many sessions of course and even then still would be able to say definitely how you really feel about yourself and only you will be able to make that final decision on who you really are.
Unfortunately I'm unable to help you on the non binary issue, as I'm just a female. In addition there are members of Susan's who will more than likely will be able to discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as there are members who have experienced these problems or issues that you are having as well.
Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the various forums and threads. I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new and returning members.
Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!Sarah BOffical Greeter@LoriDee @Northern Star Girl @Leo1997
