My brain is technically not done developing yet. What are the chances of my gender settling down over the next couple years?
For anyone else whose gender is/was a little... unstable... can hormones stabilize it some degree?
Can genderfluid people be taken seriously as transgender or can I expect people to tell me I need to pick one or that I'm a fake? I consider myself transgender, but... I'm nervous about saying that I am not always male. I am afraid they will not take me seriously as male unless I'm male all the time.
I would like to try living as male to see how I do with it. However, I don't know what the results will be (hence why I want to do it). How can I explain that I am male when, at a later date, I might go back to presenting as female some days? I'm afraid they'll think I was faking it and that it was just a phase when it's not.
I'm one of those people who would rather be honest about myself and hated than lie about myself and... still be hated... That doesn't stop me from being afraid. *sigh* Any advice for how to get rid of the fear?
Hey, try not to worry so much about what others may think. Do what you feel is right for you. Hormones make you feel more at home in your body in most cases. But if you like being androgynous or gender fluid then they may make you feel less comfortable. It's definitely something to think long and hard about. But do whatever will make YOU happy because it's your life. Personally, hormones have changed my life and I am much happier but I never felt gender fluid so it's different for everyone. Take some time if need be :)
Thanks. :) It'll be a few years before I can afford anything, so I have lots of time to think about it.
Eh last I heard it was a different age. Darn it, now I'm confused.
I was given a unisex name when I was born. ;D But, like most unisex names, people think it's a girl name. :P
