Title: Help?
Post by: punky_glitter on January 26, 2018, 05:51:11 PM
I don't know how to use any of these things, but I guess I'm supposed to introduce myself  :D
My name is Patricia, I am 16 years old. My pronouns are he him and I am androgyne. It took me forever to even try to find a single word to describe how I am, and hard enough to even describe it without shame. but I am simultaneously male and female, both but also neutral and I really just kinda want support because I just feel like I don't have enough. And I know that if my mom knew I was using this website that she'd be reaaaaally mad at me, but I just need support, thanks guys.

Hi Patricia, welcome to Susan's!  I'm Jessica Marie!  There are forums that talk about being gender fluid here that may help you with your questions.  You have taken a good step by reaching out for help.
I see your new here, so I'll post some links that may help you get better acquainted with the site.
Ellie was correct kinda, I'm just a welcomer.

Welcome to Susan's Place. Should your mother discover you are on this web site, I suggest you tell her to look at this thread. This site is heavily moderated and we are very protective of all our members regardless of age. We do our best to keep this site G rated and posts that don't meet that standard are either edited or removed. You mother may not approve of the topic but this is one of the safer sites on the internet. Should you see a post you are uncomfortable with, hit the button on the bottom right hand side of the post. If you receive a PM you are uncomfortable with, hit the button in the same location. Your report will remain confidential and action will be taken to correct the problem.

Hello Patricia, welcome to Susan's!

I am so glad you joined and introduced yourself.  Please do not feel shame if you find it difficult to find the exact words to describe yourself - I aim that burden at obsolete social standards that are changing and need to change.  In so many ways you are the future. 

I suppressed and stopped my exploration into who I am when I was younger than you are right now.  When I re-started many years later I discovered the answer was the same.  Take control of your future.  Make good long term decisions.

All the best,

Kendra
