Hi all,
I signed up a couple of days ago and went straight into the transgender forum instead of introducing myself first, like a polite person would...(typical!)
So.. here is my somewhat belated intro:
I am a 32-year old, born female but otherwise undecided person from the Netherlands. I'm right in the middle of having my second 'coming out', and starting to wonder if this will be the last...
My first one was about liking girls better than boys, at age 17. I guess I've worked through that for the most part, and am happily committed to my current girlfriend for over a year now.
Still, I can't seem to shake this feeling that I've had since forever. I've always felt 'different', like being the odd one out, since I don't identify with either girls or guys, or maybe with both equally..
For example, I enjoy ppl's confusion when they mistake me for a guy (the typical "Sir, the men's room is on that side", followed by the "Oh, I'm so sorry!!"). Not to be mean or anything, but more because their confusion mirrors my own, or something...
Growing up I was a real tomboy, and I still have a lot of 'typical' guy behaviours, like walking with big paces, talking loudly, never sitting legs crossed etc... (sorry to all the guys that don't identify with any of these by the way
). Anyway, I guess it just feels natural to me to act that way. It does get noticed, and ppl around me seem to wonder about my gender, as do I.
So here I am now, looking forward to meet like-minded, like-natured people, exchange ideas and learn from you all, looking for a (virtual) place to fit in, so to speak.
