That's just my opinion! Not forcing anyone to do anything

I know... but it's obvious that "If your a girl you should stay a girl" wouldn't be very helpful in this context...

A lot of people have told me that, but I wouldn't necessarily be changing my sex, just my gender (yes, there's a difference). I would still technically be a female (which is my sex), but my pronouns/what I identfy as would change ^^.
However, I do think (like Stalker said and Argent) you shouldn't be shoving that into someone's face if they're confused. It could make them feel shitty or even more confused. :P Just watch what you say, thanks.

I think you're kinda like me. I'm genderfluid, sometimes I feel more masculine and identify as male, sometimes feminine and identify myself as female. Edit: Not trying to draw attention to myself XD Just helping to explain Edited at February 27, 2021 12:23 PM by Devil's Gambit

No worries, Devil! I totally get it. There's probably other reasons as to why I (and others, of course), could feel more masculine or feminine apart from being 'tomboy' or whatever. :P Specifically speaking for females, not sure how it is for dudes lmao

Hey! I totally get you, while I am finally confident in my gender identiy, it took a long time for that to happen
To be honest, I suggest you dont tell parents until A) your comfortable in your skin and confident and B) yu are not so dependent on them for emotional/fianancial support, if you are and they deny you than it will hurt a lot :(
Have you tried giving them a make belif scenario ?' being like ' this girl in my class says she doesnt identify as abc but as xyz?
So just warm them up to the idea and see how they react?

Cries: I don't plan on telling them for quite some time, regardless if I rely on them for financial/emotion support (which really, I don't. Especially emotional support). I know it will take a while until I do become comfortable with it, or at least figure out to properly go about it.
No, but I think that is something I could for sure try! Most kids and most of my family, too, actually either don't understand it, have everything against it, or just really don't care. A lot of people in my town and school are homophobic, so telling them about gender identity might take some balls lmao. But I could for sure do that with some family members <3 Thank you

Just thought I could give an update-
As comfortable and as happy as I have been lately, I am still struggling with this. I told my younger sister about the situation, and she totally respected it (thank God). I don't think I'll be telling anyone else really, but I'm hoping that over the Summer more things will come into focus and I will understand myself some more. <3 Thank you to everyone who's gave advice.

I think that it's absolutely alright to try out new things! See what works best for you/makes you feel most comfortable in your own skin ^^ Experimentation is absolutely OK, and you don't even have to set anything in stone right away. I support you!! <3

Thank you! I have been experimenting with they/them and it's been working decently. At least online, anyways, in real life it's sorta different >.< Regardless, there's been some progress <3
