Got My First Binder

[SiriusOrion]

Hi! I'm new here, but I've been stalking the forums for months without building up the courage to finally sign up. Part of it was fear of accepting myself, I guess, and part of it is fear that my parents will find out. They'd freak. But today I finally took a leap that I've been thinking about for years and I guess i wanted to get it off of my chest (haha  ). Completely against my parents knowledge and consent o bought a binder and shipped it to my friend's house. It came today. And oh my god, I just about cried when I put it on. It was the best feeling! I've always been a little confused about my gender and who I am. Honestly, I still don't totally know. But seeing myself in that binder made it so clear to me that I'm definitely more masc leaning than feminine. Honestly I just wanted to type this somewhere. It's not really something I can talk about irl... But anyway! I'm glad to be here and glad to finally have a binder (:
