Anyone know what i might be?

Question

Just a quick disclaimer that I know that nobody can tell me exactly what I am and that I have to decide it foe myself. Also warning ima be talking about Lgbtq topics so if you don't like it please leave :)

Alright so im 12 and I've kind of always known I was gay but never really had a label for it until I learned about Lgbtq stuff when I turned 10. I was fascinated that I had found a community of people like me. Then I started researching different terms and I was overwhelmed by the amount of labels that existed.

I thought I was lesbian (a girl attracted to girls) at first but then thought i was pan (someone attracted to all genders) because I fell for a dude. Then I started thinking about my gender identity. That made me even more overwhelmed. I was born a girl but I've always been a bit of a tomboy. I started callimg myself a demi girl (someone who partially identifies as a girl), nut that label eventually didn't feel right to me anymore .  

Then I researched non binary (someone who feels genderless). I was in awe of how well I fit in to the label. It felt amazing but at the same time it felt weird. I had never thought of myself as non binary and it made me even more confused. The more I researched it and the more labels I researched the more overwhelmed and confused I felt. I didn't know what I was.

I also felt like I was gender fluid. But even that label didn't feel right. I felt like a girl but a boy but a girl and also non binary and also none of them at the exact same time. Its a strange gesture feeling. I started using he/she/they pronouns and was happy.

I know that nobody can just tell me what I am but if anyone knows what I might actually be and what my sexuality may be please answer . the amount of labels overwhelm me and I just need some advice. Thanks :)

Hi, I’m not sure what to say because I’m a girl and I’ve always felt like girl. I’ve never questioned my gender sense I feel like the one I have is the one I am.

But based on just reading part of your question, I can tell that this is hard. I am 10 right now and go through puberty as well, so maybe this is puberty. But as I said, I don’t know how to really respond.

My advice is to just possibly talk to a trusted adult or friend. If you feel comfortable that is. Also, if you’re Christian pray. If you consult in God he can help you. And know that I am praying for you.

P.S. You could also talk to an older sibling if you have one or feel comfortable about it. + Don’t be afraid. But if you think someone is going to make fun of you ( Based on their usual behavior, not nerves)

Then don’t consult in them.

Also, consider asking a parent or guardian to get you counseling. It’s not a bad thing, it just helps you to let out what you are feeling, and they can help you by giving you ideas to help!

Answer 1

1. You sound like you might have your sexuality figured out, but maybe you don't. If you don't think you're pan but do like multiple genders, you could be bi or poly (or something else!)

2. For your gender, you could be trigender. Again, it could be something else.

Gender and sexuality can take two weeks to know or two years or really any amount of time. Take it at your own pace.

Answer 2

I'm a transgender gay man, I've known for 7 years. Things like this take time to figure out it will become more clear when you're older. You can talk to an adult that you trust about this.

Answer 3

Ask a LGBT adult for help. I have no clue.

Answer 4
