Exactly this. I've struggled with the same problem, Rachel. After my research, I've self-identified as gender fluid. That may not be the right fit for you though. Just don't obsess over it like I...

Exactly this. I've struggled with the same problem, Rachel. After my research, I've self-identified as gender fluid. That may not be the right fit for you though. Just don't obsess over it like I...
The problem is that fear goes along with a very real threat of physical violence, especially in the South.
I think this is the next big hurdle. While there will always be closed-minded jerks, people that actually transition are really starting to see progress. For genderfluid people though, we'll...
Everything so far has been normal. Must have just been a blip on the radar. I guess I can go back to obsessively worrying about other things instead :)
I very much appreciate everyone's...
I've been having a really rough few months, and it all came to a head yesterday. I'm finally going to start seeing a professional to help deal with being genderfluid instead of trying to get by on...
It really depends on my mood, and which side of me is in charge at the time. For me, it's hard to come off casual when you're checking someone out for their look, and not their looks :)
This mirrors a lot of how I've felt, including recently. Accepting myself and my gender fluidity, even if I'm closeted, made a massive difference for me emotionally. Unfortunately, acceptance for...
Disney is on the forefront of LGBT equality issues from a corporate standpoint, but they also have very strict appearance requirements. I'm not sure how it applies to trans cast members, but...
I don't understand #3 myself because it feels like the kind of thing that's only going to draw negative attention or be seen as mocking. There's the occasion where you see a dad dressed as a Disney...
I've lost count of the number of positive conversations I've been able to have in public about trans rights as a result of the attention Caitlyn has brought to the issue. And all without ever having...
Exactly how I feel. I don't like the word myself, and loathe the style, but I'm not going to judge anyone for it as long as they're not harming anyone.
Certainly seems like an intended compliment to me. Given the kinds of things I've heard said in the South just overhearing conversations (I've never been out publicly), I'd be happy she was nice at...
As best I can figure it out, I'm genderfluid. My male side is by far the dominant side, but that's also because I have to keep my female side very much under wraps.
For me, dressing was sexual until I came to understand and accept that I was genderfluid. Once that sank in, I've found I get less arousal out of dressing and more comfort. Like I'm finally whole. ...
I've tried to watch Drag Race, but it's way too campy for my taste. I get that it's drag and that's part of the schtick, but for me it's way too much of the same "character" over and over again.
That was always my excuse in WoW, though that was about the only game I CD'd in.
I personally think Jaden's very public genderqueer/genderfluid dressing is the much bigger deal. Because it is being treated as if it's perfectly normal. It might come off as a fashion trend, but...
I foresee this being a trend for a lot of us girls in the coming months...
Outside of that, congrats! Hopefully this is another step towards larger acceptance for you and increased communication!...
I ask myself this all the time. Lately I haven't felt the urge as much, but I'm positive that I've got so many other things occupying my mind that I've stopped worrying about the clothes I'm wearing...
I'm sorry but I really don't feel like being thrown in jail because I made a GG uncomfortable This garbage is exactly why I have to live in the closet. The Florida bill is moving forward, and given...
Mac, far more experienced members have said it better, but I'll add my voice to the choir. There's nothing wrong with you at all. I know the guilt and the shame and the WTF moments all too well...
For me, I'm not so much aroused by the dressing itself, but the idea that I'm free to fully be myself. It took me a long time to figure that out though, so what you're initial connecting as arousal...
I usually hesitate to tell people what to do with their lives, but you really need to get him out of your life if at all possible. That doesn't sound like a safe situation at all.
Really appreciate the advice from everyone. It's exactly the kind of support I love from this group.
Looking back on it, I may have overreacted a bit. The tone of the question was very...
Lately transgender issues, both positive and negative, have been in the news. I've always been a vocal LGBT rights supporter on Facebook, so naturally I've been sharing some of the stuff I've see on...
