Hello, I don't know~

[NorthWest]

Okay, so, I know I didn't intro myself or anything, but I'm just gonna get straight to the issues, because support is what I'm here for. I'm female, 18, and have...gender issues? Like pretty much everybody here, right? I'm here because I finally have to face up to these.

I'm finally telling my friends about this crap, and it feels good. I was shocked to realize that even when people don't fully understand, they can be really supportive.

I guess what forced this is, well, I used to date this girl who started out as my best friend. But...she was straight. And she knew that all along, and when we broke up and she said she "needs a man," that ****ed me up in the head like nobody's business. And she never got that. She thought I was a heterophobe, and I'm not. So, I pretty much never forgave her for that even though we remained friends. And when everything finally gave, I had to start telling my friends about this crap.

I don't know what word I want to use to call myself. I know I'm bisexual, know I'm something odd as far as gender goes. I am one of those that largely feels genderless, so maybe this belongs in that forum, but I'm just gonna post it here. I love to bind my breasts, and when people think I'm a boy, or especially if they can't tell what gender I am. It feels soooo right.

I wish I could explore this more, but I haven't told my parents, and I don't know how to explain it. I kinda want therapy, wanna test things out in real life, try passing. God, the thought makes me giddy. The worst thing is when people tell you to "think about it." Dude, it's not like I'm gonna go get surgery. I couldn't get surgery that easily anyway (and I don't want it, except MAYBE chest surgery someday far in the future). These people don't really get it, hehe. This ever happen to you?

So...thoughts?

It would be sooo much easier if we all had a tag that told us who and what we are.  Yet we each have to stumble through it all to figure it out. 

It's not easy.  It's pretty hard somedays.  Think everyone here knows all too well about that.  You not find a more understanding bunch of people, pretty much ordinary people really... 

I do know what it's like to fall madly in love with someone only to find out she's straight hetero.....of course that was after I came out..... IT"S...... Well I can't say what I want too.  But it's just rotten all there is too it. People can't help being straight, or GLBT....or what ever. They just are.  Something we are all born with I do believe.

Anyway, We're here to talk and chat.

Take care

First off NorthWest...you are trying to put a lable on yourself...and you yourself are not even sure of who or what you are...sit back...relax for a moment and discover who you really are by asking yourself these very questions...who am I; who do I want to be and is it possible to be accepted in my current situation; if I am satisfied with myself...who will I be hurting???

Choices have to be made, but they must be made only when you yourself are very sure of yourself...right now you are confused...and (because) you identify yourself as a Bi-individual...it means you enjoy both the "vagina" and the "penis" and that's cool (yet) you also stressed that you are not really ready to make a commitment into transforming...and that is ok/ too...

You are like most young females that I see in tha "club" one moment they are "boyish" and the next moment they are "grlish..." (because they haven't found the right apple yet). Find yourself and you will find the answers that you seek...the road is long...but NorthWest...please listen...DON'T GO DO'N SUM-TING...YOU'LL LATER REGRET...

You don't have to scream and shout to get the right people to listen to you...(nine times outta ten...they already know) and in the end...these are the ones who WILL count...!!!
