Hi,

Im new to this whole forum posting thing and to the site itself..I've been wanting to join for a while now and I finally have Internet so all is well:) I've pretty much known my whole life that I've never really fit into the role of being a girl.. And up until about a year ago I wasn't sure that I fit in with guys either. Now I'm just trying to battle out who I am..I think I have it figured out but I have a lot of questions and hesitations regarding what I should do..I have a limited source of support, (I have friends that will always stay by me but they don't really understand or want to hear about it) and I've tried explaining that I'd rather use gender neutral pronouns for now but I'm pretty sure that went in one ear and out the other..

Im also scared to tell people that I'm confused about my gender becuase Ive been known for so long as me..and changing wouldn't be that easy..also my parents have only recently started to accept me as being a lesbian after I came out five years ago..so to come out again, well that doesn't sound fun..

Maybe I'm being irrational..regardless I'm glad there's finally a forum and site that can help me answer some questions.

I know I'm only 19 and I have my life ahead of me but I feel like I have to try and figure out who I am before I can do major things with my life...

Hey

I completely understand what you mean about not being a girl and about coming out as Transgendered after coming out as a lesbian - i too thought 'lesbian' though in my case it was for fifteen years and i have yet talk to anyone about the fact that lesbian isn't the whole or real story!

Anyway Hi and welcome to Laura's - its lovely to meet you :) :)

Hello, Fredsmydog1,

Welcome to Laura's Playground. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Do you have a nickname we could call you? It's kind of awkward saying "Hey You". :lol:<_<

Welcome to Laura's A! I know the feeling of gender confusion and didn't come out as transgender until I had been "gay" for a year and a half. Sometimes it can be a little hard to tell the difference.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."
