I agree I think this site has helped a lot. I live with a girl who, before I moved in with, was a good friend of mine and when I had come out and told her that I identify as GQ she totally freaked out and said that how can u do that? she seems to think that I am just confused because apparently I am on the fence and just don't know who I really am. so she also thinks that one day I'll figure out who I am and then i'll either Identify as a girl or a boy. She is really closed minded and thinks that if she isn't identifying that way or doesn't understand that its wrong. I tried to explain it the best way that i can, but that doesn't seem to help at all. She doesn't even try to understand. I mean he seems to think that maybe I am this way is because my partner and her partner came out recently as being trans. so, because they are trans I apparently feel left out according to her and just need to put put this label on myself so I can fit in better, but that is not the case. This has really been a personal decision and I feel that I have felt this way for a very long time but just recently felt that this is the right time for me to come out as I have just recently realized who I really am and why I have been the way I have been most of my life. I wish she could just try and understand and be supportive, but I guess that's wishful thinking.

I could be wrong but maybe you've felt this way for ages but didn't feel safe to come out or did't know there was a name for it until you looked into the trans stuff that you did because of your partner being trans?

Yeah I totally think that might be the case. I did have a point in my life where I thought no I'm not this way and my mom has even asked me. But I'm glad I've realized who I am and I'm glad I have support from people on here. Thanx everyone.
