I'll introduce myself first off,

My name is Lasko. Been known as a lesbian for 4 years... but

I am oh so very confused with my gender since a few days ago. My Aunt recently had me do a survey about all kinds of things having to do with your sexuality and gender and what not. Well the questions indeed asked you about your gender and if your confused. Then I thought back long ago when I was a kid, I really wanted to be a boy. It was like I had no idea I was a female what so ever.

So basically, I'm lost in if I'm really sure I feel this way or not, I only told one person about this and she told me I should look around and find resources. Anyways, currently, I'm realizing that I do wish alot that I wasn't in this female body, I'd basically die for facial hair, and all these male features. My problem is finding out if it's really what I feel. I have a girlfriend as well, I brought up my gender confusion a few times, but as if it was a joke, because I even am not sure. Though, shes not interested in males at all, but she did say she'd love me no matter what. As for my grandparents (I live with them) they're fully suportive of all aspects of LGBT. I just am not sure enough to put it out yet, you know?


Sorry Lasko, had to remove the personal data, for safety's sake.

Hi there and welcome!

Finding out who you are and what to do takes time, for me it took two years (well, actually my whole life, but thats another story) before I knew what I had to do in terms of transitioning, but Im still exploring my gender. oh, Im not gonna start rambling.

Im glad your grandparents are supportive!

Trust yourself, your instincts and give yourself time. You are young and quite likely you identity is still developing. I don't mean that to be condescending, I was 13 when I began. I know my process of finding my identity didn't come to a halt when I transitioned or identified as trans. Being trans isn't a destination it is more a stop on the way to your identity. Just honestly and faithfully explore your feelings and your answers will come. In the mean time I recommend you read, explore online and seek the help of LGBT positive therapist to help you through your process whether or not you are trans.
