Do you ever feel like this?

Question

So I’ve been female my entire life. I thought it was right and fit me. But when I turned 11 in January i felt, different. I felt like being a female wasn’t right. I felt masculine sometimes, i felt feminine sometimes, heck i even changed into different pajamas last night because the night gown felt wrong. So, i looked it up. It turns out I’m gender fluid. And I’ve been bisexual since 3rd grade so that part of it didn’t change. It’s just that my dad is homophobic. I can’t tell him anything, but my mom is an ally, so i can tell her but i’m scared to. Over all, i wish my life was easier.

Answer 1

I get what you mean

Answer 2

I'm nonbinary and genderfluid, and I completely get what you mean. Today I was feeling very gender dysphoric and my shoulder length hair wasn't doing it for me so I cut off 4 ish inches. Now its so much nicer and I feel so much more androgenous.

I really hope everything goes well with your dad. At least you have your mom, though! We are all here to support and guide you, don't worry!

Thanks

Yeah, I have. I slowly started to realize I wasn’t straight in fifth grade. And now I feel masculine and feminine. I don’t like makeup too much, and if I started to wear it I’d do something really simple, like some mascara and maybe eyeliner? I hate dresses but don’t mind nightgowns. Pretty sure though that this is because sometimes girls who like girls feel masculine although that can be kinda stereotypical. Sometimes I want to cut my hair short but I’m scared of what people’ll say.

Also my mom is a bit homophobic and my dad is a complete ally so I get it. You arent alone.

I agree :)

Answer 4

That isn't a great situation with your dad, I'm sorry.

You said you can tell your mom, but you are scared to. Don't feel like you have to just because you know who you are. I haven't come out to my family, just close friends. But when you're ready, I can help (I have a whole post with coming out ideas).

I support you, and remember that you're amazing.
