Afraid of being excluded

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.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

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.)
