I very recently realized that I don't exactly identify the way I thought I did. Sometimes I'm super girly and I'm happy to call myself female, but other times, I don't really feel like a girl. I never ever feel like a boy though. So basically I've discovered that I'm genderfluid, or maybe bigender, I'll work out the details later. But I'm not sure if I want to present that way, because I'm afraid that I'll lose support. Let me explain: since I identify as female most of the time, I present as female and say I'm MtF, and I've been posting in the MtF section of the forums. But if I decide to present as genderfluid, I'm worried I won't be welcome there anymore. I don't want to lose that part of the trans* community because I relate strongly to their struggles, like HRT and body image stuff. I feel like this a silly thing to be worried about, but its still important to me for some reason.
I consider myself non-binary - I feel like a man a lot of the time, even though I present fulltime (happily) as a female. No one in the MtF forum has ever given me the slightest hard time.
I think you'll find a lot of us have some of those same issues.

ALL are welcome here. You have every right to post here and you should feel welcome and I post all over without feeling unwelcome. (Fact is, I don't pay attention to what board I'm in, it is all one.)
Girl, the only board I never want to see you in is the "Can I Pass Topic" because you totally nail it girlfriend. ;D You are gorgeous! :) Nothing but total envy here precious!!! ;)
You will always be welcome; there is not need to consider different.
Oh, I second, you are beautiful.
Okay, yeah that definitely alleviates my fears, Thank you! I figured as much anyway, as soon as I saw it on the screen I knew the answer.
