Just saying hello

[Reiner Anwar]

Hello my name is Reiner.  I am a 49 year old and gender fluid.  Assigned female at birth.  All my life I have had girly girl phases, and Tom Boy phases.  Recently it was brought up to me that I could do both.  So yes, I am just starting my journey.  At this time I am not looking into hrt.  I ordered a short hair wig because I want to keep my long hair.  I am here to meet like minded people.

That, in essence, is the decision that non-binary folks arrive at...being somewhere along the female-male spectrum. (Although there are other identities as well that can apply.)

 

Learning all you can about being non-binary and the choices we make (I identify as non-binary) is a good place to start.

Here are two videos from Dr. Z, a gender specialist (thanks for the tip on Dr. Z recently, @Shay!):

 

 

 

Ultimately, the important thing is not the label at all, but finding those things which allow you to be happy and feel right for you.

 

Best wishes,

 

Astrid
