Hi @Carnation_Caterpillar  👋 Welcome to the ReachOut forums! Sharing your feelings can be really tough, so thank you for opening up here 😊

 

It sounds like you're grappling with questions about your gender and sexuality, and I firstly wanted to acknowledge that it's completely okay to feel confused - exploring identity is a confusing journey for most!

 

Feeling at odds with yourself and like you don’t align with gender stereotypes can be incredibly challenging. Discovering that wearing a dress feels good and right to you is a significant self-discovery, and is worth exploring further if you’re wanting to. It’s also okay to feel a bit overwhelmed or unsure after such an experience. 

 

I wanted to share some of the resources we have on gender and sexuality which might be helpful for you as you navigate these feelings. We also have a list of LGBTQIA+ services here if you’re wanting some additional support with this. 

 

It's so great to hear that your girlfriend has been such a supportive presence in your life. Have you thought about discussing your feelings with her? 

 

Remember that there's no rush to figure everything out all at once, and know that we are all here to support you through the process 😃
