Hello world! ... Or community, which I suppose is more appropriate.
I have joined these forums because I'm a bit lost in my self identification. It's all just so overwhelming. To start off, I am biologically female, but am quite male identified. From what it seems like, others such as myself have found their own little niche. I don't find myself really fitting into any of the ones I've seen. I'm not just a butch lesbian: I want to be seen as male and treated as such. I'm not FTM: I haven't had these feelings for very long (at least I don't think so) and though I have a desire for change, I don't have a desire for such changes I've seen most transmen go through.
I just feel like I'm trapped in-between. Even if this whole thing is a continuum, I just can't find my place. I am plagued by the desire to belong and so actually finding somewhere is very important to me. I'm hoping by hanging around here, among other places, I will find myself. If not, there's always therapy, right?
