Hi @Unknown_2006!

Congrats on reaching out for support, I know it can be very scary when it comes to gender and identity.

I questioned my gender a lot starting at a young age. While I now feel comfortable identifying and presenting as cisgender, I still feel very comfortable in being both feminine and androgynous. When figuring out my gender and sexuality identity, I did a lot of research into different gender expressions and identities. I read a lot of articles and did a lot of online quizzes. I asked people I was close with and comfortable with to use different pronouns and use a more androgynous nickname. I watched a lot of trans and queer influencers and YouTubers to learn about their experiences and had conversations with transgender and non-binary people I knew online and in real life. I spent a lot of time reflecting on my assigned gender and birth and how it aligned with my self-perception and trying to figure out how I felt about it all.

Although I am cisgender and feel very comfortable with it, I have no regrets about experimenting with different pronouns or names to see what made me happiest. It is okay to take your time and explore your feelings about your gender, there is no rush or timeframe. At the end of the day, only you can truly determine your own gender expression. Just know that regardless of your identity, you are always welcome and supported by the LGBT community and your experiences are completely valid!

Hope some of that helps, wishing you the very best of luck!! 🙂
