Hello! :) You can call me Zero. I hope I'll fit in somewhere here.
Although i am new to this forum I have been conciously struggling with gender identity issues since my preteens (I'm 24 now). I was born female, and when I was younger I used to think I was a ftm trans, but now I am confident that I am more of an androgyne or perhaps gender-fluid; to be quite frank I'm not sure WHAT to label myself (and must I even?). I enjoy expressing both my masculine and feminine sides pretty equally, but I do prefer masculine pronouns rather than the gender-neutral ones I've seen used around the 'net.
I was lucky enough to recently, completely by accident, find a boyfriend who is basically my gender-fluid compliment. He is more feminine than male but like me, would never be happy being stuck %100 one or the other. Letting the side of me out that I'd repressed for so long was incredibly freeing but I'm still too afraid to "come out" to anyone else (I think my mom thinks I'm a lesbian though, lol).
Anyway, that's enough about me for now (I can get way too long winded if I don't watch myself :P). Glad to have found this place though, everyone seems really nice. :)

Hi Zero and welcome
I've never cared much for labels. But you can call me a death rocker. I've been somewhat andro- all my life. I learned not to be bothered by peoples confused stares and/or comments. I'm sure you'll find lots of friends here
